Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns Free NFL Prediction

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns Free NFL Prediction: The Cleveland Browns as a touchdown favorite, goodness gracious, I never thought I’d see the day. It’s scary that on the first showing of something so absolutely nuts that I’d be sitting here telling you that I’m taking them without any hesitation, but that is the case. I guess I just don’t believe in anything the Cincinnati Bengals are.

I know they were better than last season’s record, last year – but this year, well, this year they are probably worst than last season’s record. Marvin Lewis will almost surely be fired next season, regardless of the situation he’s in. Carson Palmer would rather sit around and watch football than get paid 11 million a year to play it in Cincinnati – that’s really saying something. They lost most of their best players during an interesting off-season that had just about every sports website publishing one article about how terrible the ownership is in Cinci. Now the Bengals throw out a rookie QB, a rookie playmaker on at WR, and Cedric Benson. They also have what looks like the lowest salary in the game. It just never looks good for the Bengals’ fans.

The Bengals can still run it a bit, and that’s why this spread will make me think twice – but I have to take the Browns at home against the Bungles – a touchdown shouldn’t be too lofty, especially with the way Colt McCoy was throwing the ball during the preseason.
