I think the Bengals d-line will cause more problems than the Browns d-line and Bengals win 27-17.

Browns d line is better with a genoless front 7 for the bengals.

Only question is if AJ Green gets 200 yds or 300. I expect Sanu to catch lightning in a bottle again and get 5 tds to beat his career mark of 4.

Yeah....fair point. Geno is the run stopper so you guys could have a good running game...but I think Cincy's O-line will do much better in Cincy than they did at Cleveland. On the same front the Cleveland O-line should have some crowd trouble and give the Bengals d-line guys better chances.

I think the Browns are about the same team home/away.....I think Bengals are a good bit better at home and a lot is that Dalton gets more time at home.

Should really be a good game.

I know this is your ritual, but I think Sanu is the X-factor on the Bengals offense. He's a good player.

Maybe I'm off on the Browns (admit I didn't research just went on about my 3 games worth of what I've seen of them).....Browns are 1-3 on road and 3-2 at home but at GB, at KC and at Balt (ring presentation is very tough)....score 16 ppg on road and 21 ppg at home.

I have watched about 7 games worth of the Bengals....they are better at home (4-0 and 29 ppg) and on the road (2-4 and 17 ppg)

Knowing how the Browns handled them the 1st game and factoring in what I believe is a decent home field advantage.....this should be a very good game.

Hard to pay too much attention to the Browns season numbers on offense, since Weeden started half of the games.

Well, if some of the "prognosticators" who predict the outcomes are correct, the Browns are in for a long day. Have seen several predicting a Bengals blowout. They're also still riding Pittsburgh's sack. From the way they talk, you'd think Cincinnati was the greatest sports franchise in history since the 2013 Detroit Tigers.

It's been a long time the browns have been blown out, let alone blown out in this game. Even 2 seasons ago with McCoy, the Browns should have beaten the Bengals. Not sure why anyone would predict a blow out.

I agree with the "prognosticators", I mean, have you seen that lineup?...wow!

Well, one of these guys have the Colts at the top of their power rankings. Same guy keeps picking the Steelers to win every week and keeps associating their name with "playoffs" so I think he's a little "out there."

Who cares what these people say..they're all full of shit. Honestly, they've probably watched 1-2 Browns games and 3-4 Bengals games. But you can bet your ass they've watched every Cowboys, Jets, and Giants game 6 times.

They literally probably see the AFC North standings, see 6-4 v 4-5, 6-4 as the home team, and say "yep, that's a blowout.."

I think we all know this game will be within a TD, either way.

I just posted the info to make conversation but I can see, as usual, you're running with it, thinking I'm losing sleep over it. The Browns aren't going to get ANY respect from ANYONE until they build up a track record. I know this. I just found it humorous that some of these clowns would pick a Bengals blowout when these games, historically, are pretty close.

It was rhetorical questions, BR. Relax.

I know waht you were doing. I was just saying I always hear morons on ESPN and other media outlets say something reeeeeally retarded, then say something else and everyone gets up in arms about it.

Spread is Cincy +6. No respect from the odds makers either. I'll take those 6 points all day long.

Which means, essentially, the Bengals are 3 point favorites since the home team usually gets 3 points automatically.

I think the Browns are going to be very hard pressed to win this game. Campbell is due to make some mistakes and Dalton has looked like utter shit in his last two. AJ Green was pretty quiet in the first game. Can Haden contain him twice? Forecast calling for rain....I could see one of our secondary guys (and theirs too with Gordon) slipping and giving up a long TD. I do expect to see a lot more Oby/Fozzie and a lot less McGahee.
