FILE - Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb runs past Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick during the first half of an NFL football game Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, in Pittsburgh. The Bengals are clearly the more disappointing team heading into the NFL Week 7 ‘Battle of Ohio’ clash against the Browns. Individually, no NFL player has been more disappointing than Deshaun Watson.
Burrow and the Bengals, coming off a 17-7 win over the Giants on Sunday Night Football, opened as a 1-point favorite and are 5.5-point road favorites at most sportsbooks. The total is set at 41.5 across the board.Hear me out. I know you read the first pick of Browns +5.5 and had your mouse on the “back” button. I know it‘sSometimes you have to make NFL wagers that make you hold your nose. That‘s just how the league works if you want to be somewhat successful betting the NFL .
I think the Browns can keep this game close: Their D is still solid, after all, it‘s the offense that has most of the issues. There‘s no value in taking the Bengals’ moneyline for even the highest of high rollers. Who can trust the Bengals enough to put down $230 to win back $100? Chubb is returning from a torn ACL and MCL suffered in Week 2 last season, so it remains to be seen how much he contributes. Chubb may be rushed into action sooner rather than later, however, since Jerome Ford is likely out with a hamstring injury.
Defense hasn’t been a concern for Cleveland. The only TD they scored last week came from All-Pro DE Myles Garrett blocking a punt. The pass D is second in the league is completion percentage allowed .win this game. I didn’t say they would .The Bengals can win because they’re the Bengals, and the Browns are the Browns. They simply have more talent. More specifically, the QB matchup is more lopsided than Tyson vs. Spinks.
