Bengals Browns Prediction Thread

[cincygrad]

Browns 24, Bengals 21

Browns get their first win at the gun. This sets up a Sunday night football game featuring the struggling Steelers vs. the struggling Bengals.

I was thinking the same thing. We're due to lose to Cleveland at some point, and the way we played last week, all bets are off.....23-20 and 3-3 heading into the Sunday nighter

 

[DanBengalfan]

It's going to be epic

 

[Tubbs1518]

27-21 Bengals

We won't lose to the Browns. Weeden won't have as good a game ad Burfict will help slow down Richardson. Our offense will be much better this week against a D that just isn't as good. Big game from Dalton.

 

[DanBengalfan]

There's probably a behind closed doors deal to split the Browns series.

I predict we'll lose in an awkward fashion.

The Bengals are 13-3 against the Browns in the last 16 games, but 12 of those games have been decided by 10 points or less.

I think the Bengals pull it out, 28-24.....however, I do plan to be totally unimpressed by the victory......

But very impressed with Greens numbers for the game I hope?? lol
One of my fantasy WR's..

I think the Browns win rather easily. Weeden is much better now than the last time we played them....as is Richardson. It's at their place. We suck.

Browns - 34

Bengals - 17

I'm a little worried about AJ this week. He is banged up coming into the game and Haden has played him very well in the past. I think AJ had some big yards against Cleveland last year, but most of it was on two catches.

 

[DanBengalfan]

I have AJ in my NFL.com league, he's the #1 receiver. heck ya he'll have a big day.
...

anyhow, there just seems to be a cloud floating over Cincinnati right now, the red are swept, the Bengals are so-so, they ought to be improving by now and making a run for the playoffs, but even the management is unconcerned. They don't want to spoil us with all this winning, so they need to show some tough love and just not play very hard.

Kramer, you are such a drama queen. Do you honestly believe an 0-5 team is going to magically come up with a 17 point beat down? The Browns might squeak this one out, but not by 3 scores. The Bengals bounce back in a tight one 23-20.

The return of Haden is huge. with Revis injured he's as good as any CB in the game imo...

I think the Bengals pulls the game out, but I expect the passing game to have a much tougher time than they did with the Browns a couple weeks ago

 

[kramer1]

I can't fathom any scenario which ends in the Bengals being the victors tomorrow.There is no way we're winning this game. Heck, I think the Browns are a better team, actually.

 

[flamingrey]

I don't care if the Bengals lose against the Browns if they beat the Steelers. We need one of these next 2 games to stay in the playoff race*.

*The AFC sucks, at least one WC will be 8-8, if not both. At 4-3, though it's a long shot, we could muster 4 more wins. Oakland and KC both suck. Dallas is hit or miss along with SD, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. My prediction would be that we don't make the playoffs, but at least the scenario is a possibility.

As for a prediction, I could see it go either way. The Browns are even more banged up on defense than the last time we saw them, but Haden will be back.

 

[vancelot23]

Our schedule is way too tough down the stretch. We really need to win tomorrow and next Sunday. We only have 2 other "easy" games left. KC and Oakland. Dallas is the next easiest, depending on what Romo is doing.

 

[vancelot23]

If we lost tomorrow, we won't make the playoffs.

 

[flamingrey]

If we lost tomorrow, we won't make the playoffs.

I agree. If we can't beat the Browns, no way we beat the Steelers next week coming off a bye proceeding a loss to the Titans.

 

[ckhokie]

If we lost tomorrow, we won't make the playoffs.

I think our playoff chances realistically went out the window after losing to the Dolphins, but yeah, I would say a Browns loss slams the door.

I think the Bengals squeak out a win 24-21

I figured we'd lose against either the Dolphins or the Browns. When you looked at the stretch of Browns, Skins, Jags, Dolphins and Browns again, you had to figure we'd drop one of those games. I think the AFC sucks and I think a lot of teams on our schedule are softer than we thought they'd be. I agree with Rey that at least one AFC team is getting in at 8-8. Under any other coaching staff, I'd think that team should be us.... With Marvin...... Well, you know.
