Bengals finally back home again after 3 of the first 4 on the road. Bengals need a win going into their BYE week next week. Carson & T.O. coming off of a breakout game, Hopefully it's Carson & Chad this week. I think this team is more of a pass first, then Run offense team than last years Run first, then pass. But I think Bratkowski has failed to notice that and is still trying to fun on 1st & 2nd downs. If he can be creative at ALL things could be a lot better for this offense.

Game time 1:00PM on FOX

Spread is Bengals -6.5

Cincy should win this one. From their remaining games I have them coming in right around 8-8. If they lose this, at home, I could see a meltdown by Dumb & Dumber (Ocho & TO).

This is pretty much a "better-win" (probably too early in the season for "must-wins"). On paper you'd think so...but after last week, it's tough to even say they likely will.

Cincy needs this one to stay close in the division...I think they win by a touchdown.

Bungles offense is interesting this year. All the talk about how awesome it would be and it has fluttered.Big week last week by Carson but is it just me or did anyone else think he was tossing up jump balls every play? Browns just can't cover anyone. The running game has struggled for the Bungles as well.

They better win this game or the city is going to go nuts.

Could be a TERRIBLE day in the Nasty Nati if the Bungles lose to the Bucs @ Home and then the Reds get swept by the Phillies later that night. Also could be a great sports day for the city. Would be great to go to 2 wins if you were a Cincinnati fan, but you would be one tired man. Throw the UC game in the mix Saturday night and you could have a crazy 24-30 hours of Football and Baseball.

LOL.

Even at 1-3 the Browns a better draw for FOX than the Bungles.

You know things are bad in Cleveland when a fanbase can't brag about having the better record, they have to brag about being televised. Does anybody else find this incredibly sad?

I am not looking forward to the day when the Browns get turned around, the fanbase will be unbearable.

Which crowd is booing the team on the field right now? That would be Cincinnati if you have it on.

Browns and Bengals have nearly identical records since the return of the Browns I believe. The two franchises are very similar since the return.

We are pretty unbearable to begin with already! LOL I am sure it is being televised becuase the Falcons > Tampa Bay they probably actually flipped a coin because both match ups didn't look good on paper but have been good games so far.

This would be more impressive if that playoff victory wasn't 8 years ago.
