The Cleveland Browns (4-2) head down Interstate 71 to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4-1) Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. Below, we take a look at the early Week 7 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Browns were drummed in Pittsburgh in an AFC North showdown, as the Steelers came away with a 38-7 win. Cleveland is now just 1-2 SU/ATS in three games away from home this season, and they’re averaging just 6.5 PPG in two divisional road contests. Their only win inside the division so far came in a Week 2 Thursday night battle against the Cincinnati Bengals, 35-30. They narrowly missed a cover as six-point favorites in the first installment.
The Bengals blew a big lead against the Indianapolis Colts on the road, falling 31-27 in Week 6. They did hang on for the cover as 7.5-point underdogs. Cincinnati earned the backdoor cover in the first game in Cleveland. Their only victory of the season came at home, a 33-25 win and cover over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they fell just 16-13 in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers in their only other home contest.
