Week 6: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns

• BR1986FB

  Rematch of what was a pretty close game earlier in the season.
  
  Browns will have the Adderall Kid, Joe Haden, returning from suspension.
  
  Browns seem to play better, offensively, on the road.
  
  Thoughts on this one?

  STFU with your reverse jinx. Browns lose 17-14.

  24-21 CLE upset and 1st W

  This is tough. I think the Browns end up with the W though. I think it will only be by 3.
• Rotinaj

  

  Browns will be up on the bengals anywhere between 2-6 points and will lose in the last 2 min of the game.

  If the Browns can play 4 quarters, I'm going with the Browns over the Bengals.

  Is 17-14 the football equal of 6-4 for baseball?

  Yes.
  
  Early line is Bengals -3. Take the Browns and the points all day long.

  Bengals. They will bounce back and be more effective on 3rd down and be able to contain TRich. Won't be easy as the Browns are game this year and in every game.
  Bengals go to 4-2 and I can almost break the old knock knock joke on the Browns, you know; Knock Knock/Whos there?/Owen/Owen who?/Owen 6 lol
  
  Bengals 31-Browns 20

  Both defenses suck. I expect a shootout.

  I don't think the Bengals D sucks. Why do you think that? They have possibly the best interior dline in the NFL now the secondary isn't the greatest but hopefully we can get healthier. Losing THoward, Dre doesn't help either.

  Don't fool yourself. Your defense sucks. It was good last year but sucks this year. A legit playoff contender, which the Bengals are not, has the depth to get over the injury excuse.
• gerb131

  

  Well if being in the top 15 in every defensive category sucks I'll take it and thats with the ugly game vs Baltimore.
  My point is we are getting healthier and will only get better. The guys up front are nasty I was a little disappointed in the effort vs Miami but we will get it together.
  No playoffs for the Stripes you say? I think they sneak in but thats for another thread.

  Until they can consistently beat good teams, they are just pretenders. They don't have the luxury of the cakewalk schedule they had last year plus they still have Marvin Lewis as the head coach.

  Lol
  
  Bengals should win this one going away

  You play who is on it and yes the bengals have a more of a difficult schedule this year than last but winning Sunday puts us right back into the thick of it at 4-2. And some of those teams that were expected to be good really aren't or aren't yet. These two games vs Cleve and Pitt are huge for us.

  LOL the bengals haven't beat a good team in like 3 years.

  Doesn't matter if the Bengals win this, or not, they are still not a good team. "Wow...we beat the Browns!" Get in freakin' line. Still doesn't make your team "good" or a playoff contender. One wild card will come from the North (whoever doesn't win the division between Pitt/Balt) and one will likely come from the West (Chargers/Broncos).
• wes_mantooth

  

  Bengals aren't real good, but I still think they find a way to win
  
  24-20

  Pittsburgh? Really?
• like_that

  

  Browns will probably lose this game, because they just find ways to lose, but LOL at jordo saying the Bengals win going away when this game has been close the past 6 games. Jordo just continues to show his lack of knowledge. Very surprising /sarcasm.
  
  Anyone who thinks the Bengals are a legit team right now are just fooled. Let's be real here they have had these matchups for 5 weeks in a row (including this game):
  
  week 2: rookie QB
  week 3: rookie QB
  week 4: God awful 2nd year QB
  week 5: rookie QB
  week 6: rookie QB
  
  This is a must win for the Bengals if they want to make the playoffs. They already lost one of their gimme games.
