Game Preview

The Cleveland Browns defeated the Steelers 13-6 last weekend, complicating the AFC North picture and hurting their big-time rivals. Now they travel to Cinci, to face Joe Burrow and the Bengals, with just one thing on their mind – Garrett reaching that sack to break the NFL record.

To be honest, all eyes are on him, and against the Steelers, many watched the superb defender rather than the result. Though that’s all that matters to Browns fans right now.

As for the Bengals, they’ve smashed the Dolphins and the Cardinals in the last two events, scoring 82 points, while allowing just 35. Burrow and the boys were clinical on the offense, and the defense looked decent for once this year.

It is interesting to note that 5 of the Bengals’ last 7 games went UNDER, and that’s something just a handful of bettors notice. However, knowing that their totals were always too high, this is not odd at all.

Browns vs. Bengals Head to Head

The series result is 56-48 in favor of the Bengals, who have won 4 straight over the Browns. The previous game this season was in early September when Cinci won on the road, 17-16.

Browns vs. Bengals Predictions

Browns play well at home, but on the road, they are pretty limited. This is the reason why we pick the Begnals to cover the spread. The hosts are in excellent offensive rhythm, and they will beat Cleveland easily.
