Default Best Bet For Sunday
Browns -3.

There is no way the Browns will lose this game to the Bengals. They will win the game, the worse anyone could do is break even. The Bengals defense is horrible, at its not like the Cincy offense is explosive like it used to be. BROWNS -3!

I say Dallas is the best bet, I expect a blowout.

Amazing how in week 2 everyone said the Bengals -6.5 at the Browns was a stone cold lock and now no one expects them to be able to beat the Browns at home.

That is a typical public view on this game and why the books set the lines the way they do.

They are trying to even up both sides of the line in order to make as much money as possible. Obviously there is more to handicapping than just that one aspect alone, but it does carry a lot of weight. I think CLE barely wins vs average teams and is a bit overrated in the public eye and has a subpar defense. They play in CIN where I think the Bengals have the offensive weapons that are overdue and they know the Browns well. A high scoring game would not surprise me as the Bengals D is subpar as well. I see the home team winning.

A cincy win? Browns are controlling their own playoff spot right now. I like the browns offense better than the bengals right now. Unlike the bengals, the browns can control the clock, run the ball all game if they wanted to, and cincy's defense is horrible. I love this game. Browns -3. I've been with the browns the last two weeks (both covering against the jets and bills)

The Browns defense is just as bad if not worse. Check their stats. Bengals allow less points per game. Since the browns have been covering lately doesn't mean they will this week. The odds makers will adjust to them eventually.

It is a big rival game just like the Eagles and Cowboys, I would stay away from this game because of that.

"Team A has something to play for" has to be one of the top 5 worst arguments in sports betting. Cincy's defense is similar to Cleveland's defense, and continuing to bet a team because they covered the spread two weeks in a row has to be one of the other top 5 worst arguments in sports betting.
