I'll say Bengals win.  Bengals have been playing better last 3 games.  I can change avatar from a 1 to a 2.

Bengals haven't won 2 in a row since very early in 2018 season before it all fell apart, if I'm not mistaken. So 2 in a row would be very different around here. We haven't seen THAT in a while.

To me, getting Dennard healthy has the D playing better.  He can stuff the run and cover the pass.  3 good games in a row on D.   The offense woke up with Dalton back.  I hope they remember Eifert as a pass target.  The blocking was good enough to beat Jets, so if it could just be good enough.

The Browns are like the Bengals, at least like a healthy Bengals, on offense.  Lots of skill positions with not much of a line.  I can't help but think we will see more of what we saw against the Jets and set with the LBs closer to the LOS and run-blitz a lot in early downs.  That being said, I think Mayfield has a lot more field vision than Darnold and will find check downs.  

This sounds terrible, but I still want the Bengals to lose this game....so they could get Green and Ross on the field together next week and beat the Pats.  I would love that and still get the #1 overall draft pick.  Have no idea the strength of schedule comparison between the Giants and Bengals but I hope they get another win (the Giants) to ensure that first pick goes to Cincy.
