This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the Cincinnati Bengals.
I've been impressed with the Browns this year, but consistency on the road is not one of the organization's strong points and I like the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Divisional contests are always the most important, and that's doubly so for the home side in every matchup, but note that Cleveland has lost 17-straight divisional games away from friendly confines. Conversely, the Bengals are in the midst of a 13-0-1 stretch in front of the home town crowd and have routinely smoked the Browns whenever given the chance, winning the last five straight in the series at Paul Brown Stadium. As good as the Browns record is right now, it doesn't take a genius to realize that those numbers are a bit misleading considering the competition and the way in which they've won; note that Cleveland would rebound off a 24-6 loss at Jacksonville on October 19th, needing two fourth-quarter TD's to post a 10-point win over the Raiders and then actually trailed the Bucs by a point late in the fourth quarter last week before then rallying for the 22-17 win. The Browns run game has also been atrocious of late, a direct correlation to its brutal line play. The Bengals catch a break then, they aren't the best in stopping the run, they gave up 132 yards in last week's 33-23 win over the Jaguars, but would get 154 yards and two TD's from rookie RB Jeremy Hill. WR AJ Green looked good on his return from injury, he had three passes for 44 yards and a TD. Note that Cleveland is 6-10 ATS in its last 16 on the road, while Cincinnati is 14-6 ATS in its last 20 at home. Look for the BENGALS to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover.
