I could see us winning but I actually don't know if I want us to. Besides getting the 1st pick, anything that forces Mike Brown to either retire or at least make competent offseason moves is what needs to happen.

Two straight wins will be like Heaven for Mike Brown.  ALL will be well in his mind.

I give the edge to the Browns since they have home field and them coming off of a loss versus Bengals happy off of a win.

I also think that the combo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt is going to prove troublesome for the Bengals to deal with.

Cincinnati Bengals 24
Turdland Stains 13

6-6 tie...

Fitting for these two sorry franchises

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.

Nope..

Shitstains- 34

Agree, I think that's the thing that will tip the scales.

Bengals 17
Browns 27

24 to 10 Browns

Close game.  Browns by a field goal or two.

I fear the Bengals will beat the fins so I do not hope they win against the brownies. This could go OT and I can see the Bengals winning this one. As much as I hate the Browns and their fans, I just hope they do not blow next draft options.

the stains are in their Marvin 8-8 records phase. Good enough to beat bad teams, but just cant beat those with winning records/playoff bound.

The only thing that will change in Mike Brown is when he changes from a living being able to breath oxygen to a corpse unable to breath oxygen. The fate of this team won't change his stripes in the least.
Despite that I have a hunch we win this game if for no other reason than to screw up draft position.. 

We win, 24-21

Browns win by single digits and their fans will think they are playoff bound again

That's not true.
The Browns have beaten BUF, PIT, BAL.
They lost to DEN, who is 4-8.

Actually, they've played a very hard schedule.
All of the following teams on their schedule have winning records right now:
- BAL (x2)
- PIT (x2)
- NE
- BUF
- SEA
- SF
- LAR
- TEN

Their only "easy" games should have been ARI, CIN (x2), NYJ, MIA, DEN.

If they only beat the losing teams, their record would be 3-9 right now.

I have a bad feeling the Bengals are going to win 3 out of the last 4 and blow the draft

Hubbard out for this game. That should significantly hinder the odds of a W.
