Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) meet the Cleveland Browns (1-5) for a Week 7 game at Huntington Bank Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bengals vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bengals picked up a 17-7 road win against the New York Giants, but they’ve alternated covers and non-covers in each of the 1st 6 games this season. The Under (46.5) cashed last week, but the total has gone high in 4 of the past 5 outings.

The Browns have been terrible, scoring 18 or fewer points in all 6 games this season. Cleveland also traded WR Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills this week, so QB Deshaun Watson and the pass game have 1 fewer playmaker.

The good news for Cleveland is that RB Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to make his season debut. He hasn’t played since Week 2 last season in Pittsburgh due to a gruesome knee injury.

Cincinnati leads the all-time series 53-48, but it has dropped 6 straight trips to Cleveland dating back to Oct. 1, 2017. In fact, Bengals QB Joe Burrow has never won in Cleveland, going 0-3 as a starter. The last time the Bengals won in Cleveland, Burrow was still a sophomore at Ohio State, prior to his transfer to LSU.

Bengals at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Browns 18, Bengals 16

Moneyline

It’s uncertain why, but Burrow hasn’t been able to get the job done in Cleveland. We’ll roll with the BROWNS (+200) for the opportunity to double up.

The pick really hinges on Chubb making his season debut, though. Circle back around 90 minutes prior to kickoff and make sure the veteran is active. The Bengals rank 27th in the NFL with 146.0 rushing yards per game allowed, so Chubb returning would be a giant shot in the arm for the Cleveland offense.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less adventurous or feel Burrow will finally exorcise his Cleveland demons, BROWNS +5.5 (-105) is still a healthy amount of points.

Yes, Cooper is now gone, but to be honest, he wasn’t contributing a ton to the offense. Watson has struggled getting all of his receivers the ball, and it’s the defense that is driving this pick, as well as Chubb potentially getting loose against a shaky Bengals -5.5 (-115) rush defense in his season debut.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-110) is always worth a play when the Browns are involved.

Cleveland’s offense has cobbled together 18 or fewer points in all 6 games to date. The Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 meetings in this series, too, while going 2-0-1 in the past 3 battles in Cleveland.

Looking at Sunday’s New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Week 7 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) meet the Cleveland Browns (1-5) for a Week 7 matchup at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Kickoff Sunday is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Bengals vs. Browns odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Bengals won a defensive battle on Sunday Night Football on the road against the New York Giants, 17-7. A late touchdown gallop by RB Chase Brown helped flip the game to a cover as 4-point favorites as the Under (46.5) comfortably cashed.

The Browns lost 20-16 at the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, dropping its 4th game in as many tries against the NFC East Division. The team’s only taste of victory was an 18-13 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 on the road.

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns open their 2023 NFL regular seasons at Cleveland Browns Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bengals made huge news this week, as the team and QB Joe Burrow agreed to a 5-year, $275 million contract extension, which will keep the Ohio native in stripes. He is also the new highest-paid player in NFL history.

It’s likely Burrow’s career record against the Browns didn’t come into play in the negotiations, as he is just 1-4 against Cleveland in the Battle of Ohio. In the 5 games, he has completed 66.2% of his passes with 10 passing TDs, while going 23-13-1 against all other NFL opponents.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson begins his 1st full season as the starter in Cleveland after starting last season with an 11-game NFL-imposed suspension for off-the-field transgressions. He faced the Bengals in Cincinnati last season, completing 26-of-42 passes for 276 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT with 33 rushing yards in a 23-10 loss at Paycor Stadium Dec. 11.

Bengals at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 26, Browns 22

Moneyline

The BENGALS (-130) are a solid play on the moneyline if you’d like to forget about the points and not pay a huge price to do so.

It’s a little scary, as Cincinnati has won just once in the past 6 meetings, including an ugly Halloween night loss in Cleveland last season by a 32-13 score. In fact, the Browns (+110) have won 5 straight meetings at home, with the Bengals winning 31-7 at Cleveland Browns Stadium Oct. 1, 2017.

Against the spread

The BENGALS -2 (-110) are the play, as they just have too many weapons. Throw Cincinnati’s record in Cleveland in recent years out the window, forget about Burrow’s losing record against the Browns +2 (-110).

Cincinnati has a powerful offense with Burrow, RB Joe Mixon, WR Ja’Marr Chase, WR Tee Higgins, etc. It’s going to be tough for the Browns to lock everybody down, especially if the offseason acquisition and Super Bowl champ Thornhill is unable to go.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very, very lightly. It is likely going to have to take a late score in the fourth quarter to get this one across the finish line.

The Over is always a tricky proposition with a Kevin Stefanski offense, as he likes to go run-heavy, with a lot of play-action situations. Look for RB Nick Chubb to shoulder a huge load, as usual, when Cleveland has the football, especially early on.

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.
