Browns vs Bengals NFL
The Browns have won 2 consecutive games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans, which is actually a season high. The Browns welcomed back QB Deshaun Watson from an 11-game suspension last week, but he was very rusty. It was the defense and special teams that saved the day, accounting for 3 TDs in a 27-14 win at Houston.
The Bengals are looking for revenge after being embarrassed by Cleveland 32-13 on Monday Night Football in Week 8. Last week, 2.5-point underdog Cincinnati earned a 27-24 victory 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.

The Bengals will cost you about 2 1/2 times your potential return, and it’s risky business considering the Browns won Game 1 by 19 points. Cleveland also comes off a decent season-high 2-game winning streak and has never beaten the Browns, so there’s plenty at stake.
