Last years games were close... Bengals Defense is playing lights out the past two games forcing 8 Turnovers. This will need to continue on the road as well as the Offense needs to get back on track. Hopefully it was just the rain early that caused a few of Palmer's overthrows..... Let's see what Bratkowski can come up & he isn't to predictable.

Hopefully the Bengals offense watches the Boldin on Wright show and can finally start clicking on offense next week :)

I went with the Bengals although it wouldn't surprise me if the Browns pull one out.

Browns have a chance in this one if the Bengals offense continues to play as it has been.

Bengals will take this one 27-17 although the Browns played as well as I think they can vs the Ravens and that should give them some momentum.

I actually like the Browns in this one. The Bengals have more talent, but something just seems off with them and I think the Browns take advantage of a few Palmer mistakes.

the real question will be how the browns will blow it. I called last games, fumble followed by penalties. This week I am going with a bad ref call followed by bad snap.

They blow their lead early 3rd. And then their offense gets maybe 2 first downs the rest of the game. Losing by 4.

Cincinnati by 14+. Carson finally pulls his head out of his ass and hits his receivers.

Do you have insider info on this game or something?

In 2005, as a Browns fan, I feared Carson Palmer and what he would do to the Browns defense. Since he got Kimo'd, he's the Great Equalizer. He's the one that keeps these games close with either a bonehead interception or his "wild high" erratic throws. Maybe this is the week he snaps out of it. Who knows?

Plus, the Bengals O-Coordinator and Daboll might be Siamese Twins separated at birth as far as the offenses they run.

My biggest concern is that Ryan will assign E-Toast (Wright) to cover Ocho. If that happens, all bets are off.

I'm a huge Bengals fan, but I worry about this game. Bengals should win, but they've been playing like shit. They'll be lucky to go 9-7 this year.

I disagree about them playing like shit .... They played one terrible half on the road in New England, I'm sure we won't be the only team to do that this year.... 1 bad throw & if we make one tackle to open up the 2nd half there could have been chance for a different outcome.... Baltimore's defense is still one of the toughest in the league and the Bengals D matched them if not outplayed them holding Baltimore to only 10 points..... This past Sunday the weather and field conditions were terrible in the downpour, balls were being over/under thrown, players were slipping and falling and nobody could hold onto the ball most of the game. The defense held Williams & Stewart to just 77 yards rushing.

Does the offense need work, most definitely! That will only happen as the season goes along and it Bratkowski decides to take some chances once & awhile as well. Defense needs to keep getting better and creating turnovers (which we didn't do in Week 1, result = loss) and ( vs. Balt & Car, Defense creates 8 turnovers & result = wins)

The Kimo injury was bad, but Palmer actually recovered nicely. He came back in 2006 and threw 28 TD's and only 13 INT's.

It was the elbow injury in 2008 that he has never returned from, and I'm not sure he ever will. Add that with the change of philosophy and design with the offense and things just aren't the same. It doesn't mean the team can't be more successful than in the past, but it makes you wonder what could have been if the offense of the past could've played behind this defense.

This will be a competitive game but I don't think the Browns will score enough to win.

They're playing hard but not enough plays being made from the QB position.

Bengals 20
Browns 16

Did you see the story over the weekend , the Browns have the most players over 30 in the NFL! I thought the were rebuilding and were one of the younger teams, guess not.

You hear a lot of announcers applauding QBs that make good decisions in terms of throwing the ball away but that's not as great as they make it sound.

Jason Campbell is the epitome of this. And there are plenty of others like this.

This is the type of QB that gives in too much. When the pressure is on, they would rather not make a big mistake than try to beat the defense and stick it to em. Guys like this end up throwing the ball away the whole game and settling for field goals.

It also leads to bad red-zone offense if you don't have a QB that can confidentally throw the ball into the end-zone from 5 to 20 yards.

Wallace is a solid, game manager and probably the best the Browns have but not the QB that's willing to take those chances. I don't think.

Browns should be completely healthy with guys like Rogers & Lauvao (who they could use) back from injury. I think Jerome Harrison will be too but he probably lost his touches to Hillis.

I heard that as well, and it is very disturbing.
