electronegativity and how it relates to bond strength


my question is, if the strength of the bond between two atoms increases as the difference in electronegativity increases as well.


so say, a H-F bond would be stronger than a O-H bond.


I'm a little confused because I know that acidity increases from left to right across the periodic table. So H-F is a stronger acid than H-CH3. Wouldn't this mean that H-F has weaker bonds than H-CH3?
