The Browns continue to be a very competent team as long as they do not start that laughingstock Brandon Weeden. Jason Campbell has a 106.6 quarterback rating. Compare to 66.2 for the stiff Weeden, one can see how Cleveland is much better than their overall record.

Tell me if you have seen this movie before? The Bengals finally start living up to expectations, their fans start talking Super Bowl then they snag losses from the jaws of victory? Yesterday, they got a miracle TD to send a game against Baltimore into overtime, but yet again pulled the rug out from under themselves.

Of course, Andy Dalton has regressed to the mean. He is part of the problem. His two best games of the year were followed by his two worst.

The schedule maker does them no favors. With their marathon tour of four road games in five weeks now over, the Bengals return home physically and mentally drained against a team off a bye. Yes, we know the Bengals have played much better at home, but they also play their worst when the season is on the brink. Of course, it is possible that predictably unpredictable Bengal tigers bounce back, but their history says they wilt under pressure.

The only question is whether or not to bet Cleveland on the moneyline. They certainly cover.
