Despite the shock death of Cincinnati Bengals player Chris Henry early Thursday morning, the Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Diego Chargers line has moved little since opening at -6 earlier in the week.  betED.com offered the biggest number at San Diego -7.

There is much speculation as to how the Bengals will respond having to travel to the West Coast following this tragic news. 

Henry died one day after falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities described as a domestic dispute with his fiancée in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.

"We knew him in a different way than his public persona," Bengals owner Mike Brown said of the player who was suspended five times during his career. "He had worked through the troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom. And he was going to have the future we all wanted for him. It's painful to us. We feel it in our hearts, and we will miss him."

Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further information.

Henry as been out much of the season due to injury but was very close to a number of players on the Bengals team. 

Approximately 70 percent of the betting public was backing the Chargers to cover the -7 point spread in a Sunday late game.

This was widely anticipated to be among the most bet on games of the weekend.

The Bengals odds of winning the 2010 Super Bowl were listed at +825 at betED.com for a payout potential of $825 on every $100 bet.
