Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns Picks

FirstEnergy Stadium

<p>Things have been a little one-sided in the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns rivalry in recent NFL seasons, but the Bengals are favored to end their skid against the Browns come Monday night when the two teams tangle in Week 8’s Monday Night Football matchup.</p>
<p>Entering their first meeting of the 2022 season, Cleveland has won seven of the last eight meetings with Cincinnati. Last season, the Bengals reached the Super Bowl for the first time in over three decades, but two of their regular season losses came to the Browns, including a 41-16 loss at home.</p>
<p>Both teams have played in a number of close games this season, so we might see a much closer game than Week 7’s Monday Night Football clash between the Bears and Patriots.</p>
<p>I’m going over the sides and totals here, but our guy Sweatpants Jesus has you covered with <a href="/articles/nfl/prop-bets-for-monday-night-football-week-8-trick-or-treat-bengals-vs-browns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bengals vs. Browns prop bets</a>.</p>

<h2 id="8cdbf">Burrow, Bengals Heating Up</h2>
<p>Ahead of Monday’s meeting, Cincinnati is heating up after a slow start, while Cleveland is looking to end a four-game losing streak.</p>
<p>The Bengals have won their last two games and four of five since starting 0-2, and they and the Baltimore Ravens sit atop the AFC North with the same record. </p>
<p>In winning their last two games against the Saints and Falcons, the Bengals hit the 30-point mark in back-to-back weeks, and they got big games from Joe Burrow against both teams.</p>
<p>After going 28 for 37 for 300 yards and three touchdowns in a comeback win over New Orleans, Burrow went 34 for 42 for 481 yards and three more scores against Atlanta in a 35-17 win.</p>
<p>The Browns are seventh in the NFL in opponent completion percentage (60.4%), but they are 26th in yards allowed per attempt (7.5 yards per attempt) and have picked off only two passes this season. </p>
<p>Pro Bowl corner Denzel Ward remains in the concussion protocol and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game after missing the Browns’ last two games. </p>
<p>If Ward is able to play, it will be a big boost a QB that has thrown the ball 35 or more times in every game but one this season.</p>
<h2 id="aiikt">Can Brissett Build Off of Promising Performance?</h2>
<p>Cleveland may have fallen at Baltimore last Sunday, but there was a very encouraging game for QB Jacoby Brissett after a poor performance at home against the Patriots in Week 6.</p>
<p>Brissett didn’t throw a touchdown pass, but he didn’t throw an interception either on the way to going 22 of 27 for 258 yards. It was just the second time this season that Brissett averaged eight or more yards per attempt in a game.</p>
<p>But he will be going up against a defense that ranks fourth in passing yards per attempt (6.2) and third in opponent completion percentage (56.9%). </p>
<p>If Brissett can’t be sharp against Cincinnati, another productive performance by Nick Chubb may go to waste. </p>
<p>Against the Ravens, Chubb fell nine yards short of his fifth 100-yard game of the season, but two catches for 16 yards helped him finish with 100+ rushing + receiving yards for the sixth time this year.</p>
<p>The Bengals allow an average of 4.6 yards per carry, which is 20th in the league, so getting the ball in Chubb’s hands early and often should be of the highest priority.</p>
<p>In seven career games against Cincinnati, Chubb has run for 662 yards on an average of 5.5 yards per carry and has six total touchdowns and four 100-yard games, with three of those 100-yard games coming in his four home games against the Bengals.</p>
<h2 id="c565">Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns Prediction and Best Bets</h2>
<p><strong>Bengals vs. Browns Prediction:</strong> Bengals to win</p>
<p><strong>Bengals vs. Browns Best Bets: </strong>Bengals/Browns over (Best Value: over 47.5 @ -109 at <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/betus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BetUS</a>), Bengals team total over (Best Value: over 24.5 @ -115 at BetUS) &amp; Browns team total over (Best Value: over 20.5 @ -130 at <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/bmgm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BetMGM</a>)</p>
<p>I like Cleveland’s chances to keep things close, even if Burrow has another big game. So, while I expect Cincinnati to come out on top, I am staying far, far away from backing them to cover.</p>
<p>But I am quite happy to back the over on each team’s total and the game total as well. Both teams should move the ball well and I see this one finishing in the 50s, at least. </p>
