CLE +1 (.5u) - SCORE: Bengals 24 - Browns 27

Bout time Cleveland wins one...Cleveland +1

bengals by 10+  ...cant stop a.j green  over 44 pts

THIS IS THE 2ND GAME BETWEEN THESE 2 TEAMS THIS SEASON.  THEY PLAYED IN WEEK 2 @ CINCY AND CINCY WON 34-27.  I LIKE CINCY TO WIN AGAIN, CIN 28 CLE 25

CINCINNATI  - 1

Cincy is 3-2... but maybe an 'unimpressive' 3-2.... with an unimpressive defense. 
I think everyone is MISSING the fact the Browns best defensive player CB Hayden is finally back for this one.  LARGEST factor for this re-match.  How did Cincy beat the Browns last time ?....burned them big time down field / over the top. 
Hayden makes a huge difference here to help with Green AND company...imo. 
Browns get their first win here...

Browns

  Haden

Reverse line move, revenge game at home and getting 1 of their best defensive players back. For once I disagree with Vue here. I've watched a lot of Cleveland games this year and they aren't as bad as everyone thinks. Maybe they finally put a complete game together and get off the goose egg this week. Small play Browns.

cincy  wins

I've got the browns as well...but for some reason (probably that they are 0-5) this game gives me a gut feeling that it will be a coin flip. I dont see a blow out here, but I think it could go either way to be honest, meaning a teaser with both of these teams would cover.

everybody take a ya sharpie's and MARK MY WORDS

if you bet this game you must take CLE - three reasons listed below:

[1] can you name another receiver other than AJ Green? If you have him in ya fantasy leagues...see if you have alternatives. J. Haden will lock him up and prevent him from going deep.

[2] I was at that game when CLE came to town against BAL and Trent Richardson is FOR REAL. He was able to run the ball against BAL until they fell behind and had to go to the air. He rushed for 109 in the first match in CIN. He's scored a TD in last 4 games, starting with that CIN game.

[3] In reference to "the law-firm"; in my best Denny Green voice:
"HE IS WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS".  He surprised me in that opening game vs. BAL [yeah I was there too] but since that game where he avg 5yds per carry, he's under 3yds per carry. So if the Red Barron isn't getting any help from the running game, and the new Mean Joe is clamped down on Green. CLE gets their first win.

reverse line this is an automatic sharp play ..and by sharp i mean u have to  Cinci -1

And what if this "Haden" character is a little rusty?

And what if this "Haden" character is a little rusty?

Cleveland has the better O line...Richardson is slowly gaining traction at the pro level and Weeden (with the exception of a few short armed throws)manages the game well....Cleveland could easily have the same record as Cindy...they keep blowing themselves up and giving away games... motivation is a revenge and these teams are very familiar and nobody wants to play a good young winless team. All indicators point to the Browns in this spot....as a bonus Browns also gets Hayden back that's sorta like a big deal....

Browns Plus the points

Cincy is coming off a loss to Miami  which if won would have aided them in confidence.I don't think they get over it enough to beat the Browns in Clev.

But I'd go with the OVER!

no for anything but the browns are terrible. They went into Metlife  snagged a 14 point lead and by halftime were losing by double digits.  SO in less then a half they gave up 27 points and went into half down. I just dont know what you guys see in the browns. Browns fans are miserable being browns fan. Conference game Dalton leads cincy past cleveland and gives cleveland another 1st pick int he draft. CINCY -1  if the line was cincy -7 still a solid play

People actually think Haden is a shutdown corner now? LOL! I like Cleveland here, but let's not get carried away.

If this game starts getting into a shootout (which it easily could) I don't think the Brownies have enough firepower to keep matching scores. You could argue that Cleveland has had the tougher schedule so far, but they already lost to the Bungles, and the friggin' Bills at home!

Bungles in the pick 'em

I just have a feeling that the Browns win this one... They sure aren't going to challenge the Lions for the 0-16 record. And the Browns and Bengals Always play close games. My gut is telling me the Browns pull this one off.

 

Browns +1

+Browns
+Over

Bol!
