Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’sCleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns (5-7) meet the Cincinnati Bengals (8-4) in a Week 14 matchup Sunday. Kickoff at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns have won 2 games in a row against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans, which is actually a season high. The Browns welcomed QB Deshaun Watson back from an 11-game suspension last week, but he was very rusty. It was the defense and special teams saving the day, accounting for all 3 TDs in a 27-14 win in Houston.

The Bengals are looking for revenge after getting embarrassed 32-13 in Cleveland on Monday Night Football in Week 8. Cincinnati, a 2.5-point underdog last week, earned a 27-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, as QB Joe Burrow improved to 3-0 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. However, he is 0-4 all-time against the AFC North rival Browns.

Browns at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Browns 20

Moneyline

The Bengals will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s risky business considering the Browns won the 1st matchup by 19 points. Cleveland also comes in with a modest season-high 2-game win streak, and Burrow has never beat the Browns, so there is plenty of risk.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Play the BENGALS -5.5 (-112) for a solid value here.

Yes, Burrow hasn’t beaten Cleveland in his career, but Cincinnati is jockeying for 1 of the top spots in the AFC playoff picture. The Browns offense was awful last week, and needed a miracle on defense to beat a bad Texans side. This isn’t a good football team, and Burrow and the Bengals will put the Browns in their place Sunday.

Over/Under

OVER 46 (-108) is the lean, ever so slightly.

The Under is actually 3-1-1 in the last 5 inside the AFC North for the Browns, but the Over is 12-4-1 in the last 17 against winning teams.

The Over is also 7-1-2 in the last 10 meetings in this series, and 6-for-6 in the last 6 meetings in the Queen City.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals Week 9 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns (4-4) hit the road in Week 9 to face the AFC North division-rival Cincinnati Bengals (5-3) Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS. Below, we look at the Browns vs. Bengals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Browns played their first divisional game last week and ended up getting tripped up 15-10 by the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland has posted a 1-3 SU/ATS mark across the past four outings.

The big news out of Cleveland was that the team elected to part ways with disgruntled WR Odell Beckham Jr., placing him on waivers, effectively ending his tumultuous time in Northeast Ohio.

The Bengals were the darlings of the league after a 41-17 rout of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. A favorable matchup against the New York Jets and backup QB Mike White looked like a sure win, but this is the NFL and the Jets erased an 11-point deficit with six minutes left in regulation to win 34-31.

Browns at Bengals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bengals 33, Browns 25

Money line

The BENGALS (-135) are a good play to bounce back after their loss last week. Cleveland shed a major distraction by parting ways with Beckham, but that was just one of its concerns. The run game is missing RB Kareem Hunt, who remains on IR, and Conklin’s absence hurts the run game as well as in pass protection.

Cincinnati has no major injury concerns and will have all hands on deck. Look for the home team to ride to another win.

Against the spread

The BENGALS -2.5 (-112) are quite a value at this price. The Browns haven’t quite been as sharp with Hunt away from the team, and QB Baker Mayfield has been very mediocre lately. Cincinnati likely would’ve been favored by quite a bit more if it didn’t blow last week’s game against the Jets.

Cincinnati has dominated in this series in recent years, with the Bengals going 11-2 ATS across the past 13 meetings, including 5-1 ATS in the past six meetings at Paul Brown Stadium.

Over/Under

The OVER 47.5 (-110) is the play lately in the Battle of Ohio. The Over has connected in five straight meetings in Cincinnati, while going 6-0-1 across the past seven meetings overall in this rivalry.

The Bengals average 27.5 PPG, and they’re very giving on pass defense, yielding an average of 266.9 passing yards per game. Mayfield and the Browns offense could make some noise in this one, while the Bengals will look for QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja’Marr Chase to continue making beautiful music together.
