Sure, it's a prime-time game. Sure, it's a division game. For those reasons people will predict a close game, but I don't see it.
- the Bengals won the last meeting 30-0 (Manziel started)
- the Bengals are on a mission this year. I just don't see them folding against a vastly inferior team
- Haden has owned AJ in the past, and that was the biggest reason why the Browns pulled off a couple wins. Haden is out. So is Whitner. So are several others. Our offense should have a field day.
- This defense (with Tez back) is looking great. The Browns have struggled running the ball, which has been our only weak area defensively.
The only thing the Browns have going is that it's a Thursday game. These games are often sloppy. Guys are still recovering from Sunday and there's less time to prepare.
