T.M. Selection: Bengals/Browns OVER.

I am on the over in the Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns game on Sunday. The Bengals have already clinched the playoffs and will be resting some players here including their starting QB Joe Burrow. They also have some covid cases running through their team and will have even more players absent in this game. I still think with the weapons they have left on offense that they can put a few points in this game with Brandon Allen at QB. Allen has had good games in the past and I think the offense will still be able to move the ball and score here. The Browns have been eliminated from a possible trip to the playoffs and they will not have their starting QB Baker Mayfield in this game either. I think their offense will be fine under Case Keenum in this game though. Case Keenum has shown in many games that he can be a very competent and sometimes even a really good QB in the league. He has also had success in the past as a starter in Minnesota with Kevin Stefanski so they are both very comfortable with the offense in this situation. The Bengals will likely sit out a lot of their starters on defense and a few of then have tested positive for covid too and might not play because of that. I think that the Browns are going to move the ball well and put up a lot of points on what will be a shell of the Bengals defense in this game. I think Keenum will play well in this offense and I can see both teams scoring some points in this game. This total is very low here and I expect this game to have a lot of points in it still, even with the players that will be available for this game. I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Browns.
