The Cincinnati Bengals are back to their winning ways after their close loss to the Ravens currently on a 2-game-win streak. The Bengals are 4-3 this season and right behind the Ravens in the division. With a win tonight they will tie the Ravens for first in the AFC North division. The Bengals are a high-powered offense that is starting to find its groove thanks to the performances by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. Burrow has thrown for 2,097 yards and 15 touchdowns. 6 of those 15 touchdowns were thrown in the last two games and he also rushed for 2 combined in those games. I expect Burrow to add plenty more facing the Browns but his main target Ja’Marr Chase will be out due to a hip injury so we will see who will be the wide receiver to step up in his place. Chase has put up good numbers entering week 8 with 605 yards per game and sitting 3rd in touchdowns with 6. So look for Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins to help out as well as Mixon in the passing game.
They face a Browns defense that gives up 26.6 points per game and 210 passing yards so expect the Bengals passing games to light up that secondary. This season just isn’t what they expected and I’m talking about the Cleveland Browns. Having to start the season without star quarterback Deshaun Watson due to off-the-field trouble the starting position was handed over to veteran Jacoby Brisset who helped the Browns get a win in the first game of the season but since then he has lost 4 of his 5 starts. No signs of the passing game getting any better for the Browns until the return of Watson from his suspension. But the only spotlight on this Cleveland Brown roster is the performance from Nick Chubb this season. Chubb has been the best player on this team since week one and the only chance of the Browns staying in games or possibly winning. He has racked up 740 yards currently in 3 rd place in the league and is tied for first in touchdowns with 8. Nick Chubbs has had 3 games with over 100 yards but only one win in those games. Unfortunately, the hard work Chubbs is putting in this season just isn’t enough to win games but the blame is not on him. On the other side of the ball, the Browns defense is in the middle of the league ranks in overall defense and it’s going to be a huge nightmare tonight for that defense on this Halloween night facing this Bengals offense.
Prediction:37 – 14 Bengals over the Browns
