Our Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction

Cincinnati is more than a touchdown favorite in this game; however, Cleveland looks to be the best betting option. The Browns have not had a good season, but have recently played at a much higher level, as seen by the fact that they beat Pittsburgh in their most recent game.

Cincinnati, on the other hand, was never able to turn their season around after the injury to their quarterback, Joe Burrow. That said, Burrow has now been back for several weeks and has led the Bengals to two straight wins.

Cincinnati was able to blow out Arizona in Week 17, but has overall still been a poor home team. Cleveland has not been much better on the road; however, with their team showing improvement over the past few weeks, our Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns prediction is: Cleveland Browns +7.5.

Prediction:

 

Cleveland Browns +7.5
