Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns Week 8 Odds & Picks (10-31-2022)

Two seasons ago, the Browns made the playoffs and looked like a team that was all future. Quarterback Baker Mayfield had multiple weapons, and Cleveland scored a betting on NFL playoff win at Pittsburgh. Coach Kevin Stefanski was hailed as a hero. As a result, the Browns were a hot ticket on the future market. But those happy days are long gone. Mayfield plays for Carolina. Stefanski is under fire. And the Browns traded their future for a quarterback who is suspended for legal issues. Of major concern is that Cleveland has done this to itself.

Bengals at Browns SBG Odds Overview

Following a slow start, the Bengals have pulled themselves together. Cincinnati again has the look of a top sports betting AFC contender.

Cincinnati Bengals Team Overview

Last game, the Cincinnati Bengals won 35-17 against the Atlanta Falcons as 6.5-point home favorites. The game went over the total of 48. Cincinnati has a record of 4-3 straight up, 5-2 against the spread, and 2-5 over/under the total.

If anyone can compare performances by Joe Burrow, it is his long-time partner Ja’Marr Chase. Indeed, the wide receiver has chased his passes from national title games to Super Bowls. So it seemed like old and good times again after Burrow led the Bengals to their fourth win in the last five games. In turn, Burrow had a historic passing display

It was the second time in his career that Burrow created more than 500 total yards and four total touchdowns. Also, he became the only player in NFL history to do that twice. In the last two seasons in the league of Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Aaron Rodgers, Burrow has three of the four biggest passing days. Of course, the most memorable was the 446 he put on Mahomes’ Chiefs to win the AFC North.
