I backed the Bengals last week and they picked up a rare road SU and TAS win for me. Not this week. The Browns are a tough division oppo for Cincy and I'll take a shot with the home doggies here. Cincy fairs poorly as a road fav and got one last week. I'm not pushing that for B2B weeks with them.

Pick = Cleveland+3

My Guesstimate = Cleveland-16 Cincy-13

I agree i think this is a great spot for the browns to get it done , after 3 games typically you know what kind of team you have and although cleveland is a bad team they were competitive enough in baltimore on sunday to hang with the ravens . This is the battle of ohio it has a lot of different meaning this is the browns superbowl if you will , they just have to show up and play like it and i can see an upset happening , carson palmer was horrible against carolina and does not impress me at all i think cleveland is worth a shot here + 3 and a sprinkle on the moneyline as well.

leaning same direction here.  Cincy has yet to look impressive with any facet of their offense.  Palmer looks terrible and benson was simply ok against a mediocre defense (panther's don't have a terrible defense, just a terrible offense that puts too much pressure on their D).

Cleveland has been surprisingly mediocre this year and playing an overhyped mediocre divisional rival at home, you have to like their chances, especially after they just covered on the road in baltimore, despite flacco going nuts on them.  Still too early to lock this one in, but i'm leaning on the brownies.

Browns moneyline

CINCI is 1-11 away ats after alowing 10 pts or less vs opp off bb su losses.stats and trends from Marc Lawrence nfl playbook 2009.

Go Browns

 Cinn  6-0 in division SU last year, but 0-2 ats with Cleveland.

Magenious wishes he stayed with the Jets. Cle will pull it out due to the division rivalry. They always play cincy tough. NOT a marquis game however

cincci always struggles with Cleveland. in state game..Cleveland @ home..I'll take the points! Clev +3.... 17-14 Cleveland

    I totally agree. Actually I'm expecting a Cleveland upset here!

I'm also on the browns plus the points....


Cincy usually handles a pounding RB well..... Hillis definitely fits that description.... but I think Cleveland does just enough at home to keep this division battle close...

GL TO ALL!


BY THE WAY.... THIS IS THE FIRST THREAD THIS YEAR IN WHICH WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE (early lean of course)

Hooahh I love it lets get the v for cle!!!!

lmao are you guys kidding me.. cinci will not go down to a team thats 0-3 no matter where the game is. ride cinci all the way to the playoffs.. they are actually a good team and are starting to find ways to score.. cinci -4 for me

Cincinnati - 3...........

GIVE ME THE BROWNS +3, THESE DOGS IN THE DIVISIONAL GAMES HAVE BEEN CASHING IN MORE THAN NOT, AND THEY'RE @ HOME. IF ITS A RAINS EVEN BETTER. I'M FROM CAROLINA EVERYONE HERE SAW WHAT PALMERS ARM DOES IN THE RAIN. 17-16 BROWNS

Too many people are on the Brownies here, who have lost 3 close games this year.  IMO Seneca Wallace and Hillis played above their capabilities and will come down to Earth here.  This will be an ugly game, as the Bengals Offence has looked pretty bad, yet their defense has played well after get torn apart by Brady in week 1.  The Bengals win another tight divsion game

BENGALS ML

If Shaun Rogers plays, it's BROWNS for me....

Cincy -3

yes i was wrong about the ravens browns game last week.

hillis is a fucking monster!!! i havent seen anybody run the ball against the ravens DE like that in ten years...

if the browns play it safe and can get hillis going and no turnovers their not a bad team.

god did i really say that the browns are not a bad team?

Browns

Gimme the Bengals. I think this is the week Palmer get it together just like Falco did last week against this secondary only Palmer has more weapons on the outside. Palmer has 23 touchdown passes against Cleveland (the most of any opponent).

CINCY

whos the browns qb this week?? delhomme or wallace?

Wooooo, all u fellas backin the browns better realize that they r goin back to delhomme this week which really makes me wanna take cincy but its supposed to rain which would keep the ball out of the air so im layin off just thought youd wanna know jake the snake is back and cincy has good secondary

and ps carson palmer aint much better, never been the same since the injury in the pit game where many were pickin cincy in superbowl poor guy
