Cincinnati, who has struggled up to last week on defense, played their best defensive games last week. They need to keep their offense up as it lagged a bit in that game. The Browns traded Amari Cooper and they are in disarray and Watson is still at the QB spot where's he's been terrible. Their offensive line is still banged up and Watson is a former shell of himself, making it easier for the Bengals to put up offense. The Browns are going to struggle against this revamped defensive line that the Bengals have. The motivation with this Brown’s team has to affect this game despite getting Chubb back into the lineup who may be rusty and not a top speed. The Bengals should be encouraged by last week’s win and should come into Cleveland and cover and win.

Best bet: lay the points with Cincinnati.
