Getting this in before kickoff. Long story short: I trust the Bengals' defense at home way more than I do anything the Browns put on the field. Three turnovers from Cleveland result in a couple additional scoring opportunities, which should cover the touchdown spread.
The Browns proved once again Sunday that they're a joke, finding new ways to not cover. The Bengals are coming off a season-saving win in Denver and now get three home games in a row. The Bengals have only won by more than four once this year, and that came against these same Browns in Cleveland in a 31-7 shellacking in Week 4. We should expect more of the same here, with Andy Dalton having success and a quality Bengals defense shutting down the Browns' mediocre attack. While Cincinnati isn't a great team overall, the Browns tax dictates that any team should be laying at least a TD at home against Cleveland.
Say what you want about the Bengals, but they know how to handle the Browns. Cincy has won and covered six straight in this series, with the closest game decided by 13 points. DeShone Kizer is averaging two turnovers per game and that should continue Sunday. Lay it.
