Bengals at Browns odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Browns 19, Bengals 16

Money line

The Browns (-260) are heavily favored to top the Bengals (+205) in what turned out to be a meaningless regular-season finale. The paying crowd, and those watching on television, will be treated to an Allen vs. Keenum matchup. Neither side is particularly attractive.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The BENGALS +5.5 (-108) are playing it safe and keeping a handful of players sidelined, either by choice (Burrow) or due to COVID (Mixon, Hendrickson, etc.). However, catching nearly a touchdown from a Keenum-led Browns -5.5 (-112) side is a little too much.

Over/Under

The UNDER 37.5 (-117) is the lean here, ever so slightly. Guys like RB Samaje Perine will want to show out as he shoulders the load for the Bengals.

Cincy WR Ja’Marr Chase is expected to play briefly, needing 12 yards to break the team’s single-season receiving yardage record. Once he is able to accomplish that, do not expect to see much more of him, either.

The last time Keenum started for the Browns, it was a more run-intensive offense than usual. This one should be a defensive slog, unlike the first meeting.
