Cleveland was embarrassed last week in a 38-7 loss at Pittsburgh, which means it will be focused in this matchup with the Bengals, a team the Browns have already beaten. Cincinnati is 1-4-1, and the only win was against lowly Jacksonville as No. 1 pick Joe Burrow still is learning the ropes in his first year at quarterback. Burrow was picked off with 39 seconds left to seal the win for the Colts, 31-27, over the Bengals last week. Burrow finished 25 of 39 for 313 yards, and the Bengals were outgained 430-398. Cleveland had its four-game winning streak snapped, and it started with a 35-30 victory over Cincinnati on Sept. 17. Baker Mayfield had one of his better games of the season in that one, completing 16 of 23 for 219 yards and two TDs. The Browns were in a similar situation as they are this week as they had been demolished 38-6 by Baltimore the week before. The Bengals are 4-12 ATS their last 16 home games and 2-8 ATS as home underdogs. Also, Cincy is 3-7 ATS its last 10 October games. Look for Cleveland to rebound from last week's loss. Take the Browns.
