Cleveland at Cincinnati (09/28/2008)

Wow...surprisingly enough, most of you seem to have this game all wrong.  Remember, we are not looking at the Bengals and Browns of last year.  This year is completely different, and should not be looked at as a 54-45 game.  The Browns have put up 26 points through 3 games.  The Bengals have been just as bad despite getting over 20 points last week against the Giants.  Carson Palmer is not back, the Giants just played lazy.  TJ is a good receiver, Ocho Cinco Chinko Javon Pizzeria Uno is past his prime and more there for entertainment value than football ability. 

This game is basically to figure out which team really does suck that much.  The Browns just can't get Jamal Lewis started on the ground, and the Bengals can't keep the defensive linemen out of their backfield.  They might want to throw the ball 50 times each, but either way I don't see this game getting up to 44.5 points.

UNDER 44.5

Prediction:  Bengals  20  Browns 14

2 names come into my mind on this game Chad Johnson & Charlie Anderson.

Both players are not living up to their expectations. Ocho Cinco has yet to be a big play maker this season & Anderson got the big paycheck and seems to have fallen since then, maybe his pockets got to heavy from that big contract and is slowing him down.

Anyway someone in this game will step up sooner or later. Anderson has Quinn breathing down his neck and well CJ won't be traded so I guess he will either play or be benched.

I like the over in this one at 44.5 but still thinking........

I also think Cleveland is the play here.Cincy has basically packed it in,from the begining of the season:
Cleveland 36 Cincy 33
(actually,the 'over' may be the best play,the way these two like to score on each other :-)
