We know what these teams are at this point.
The Browns have a good defense but the worst offense and special teams in the league. The Bengals' defense is bad but not as awful lately, and the healthy offense is great and capable of a big number.
Cleveland's defense has slowly faded over the course of the season, though, just fringe top 10 by DVOA over the last six weeks.
That defense has also been far worse on the road. This season against offenses in the top half of the league by DVOA, Cleveland has allowed 31, 32, 34, and 41 points already in road games.
That's not a new trend either. Per @Clevta, opponents are now 22-4 to their team total over at home against the Browns since 2023, covering the number by almost a full touchdown. That includes 36% of them (8-of-22) going over by double digits!
The Bengals have scored 31+ in over half their games not featuring Jake Browning this season, and they've hit 37+ in four of their last nine.
It would be classic Browns to lose ugly too late to tank after last week's win, and for the Bengals to hang a big number on a hapless opponent too late to matter for a playoff push.
Play the Bengals team total escalator all the way up: over 26.5 points (-120, DraftKings) and over 30.5 at +165, with a sprinkle on over 39.5 at +625 (bet365) in case of an explosive Sunday.
