Battle of Ohio Sees Browns a 3 Point Favorite Over the Bengals

The Cleveland Browns have been installed as a 3 point favorite in their battle with AFC North Rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The game has an over under of 46 points.

The Browns met their in-state rival in week 2 which proved to be one of the wildest games of the season. The Browns, who the week earlier looked like it couldn't win a game in the Big 10 let alone the NFL, exploded for 51 points and 554 net yards. The game was the 8th highest scoring game of all time in NFL history at 51-46.

The Browns and Bengals seem to be heading in opposite directions. The Bengals had hopes of competing in the division this season but find themselves well out of contention at 5-9. The Browns, who nearly all pundits predicted a disastrous season, are 9-5 and a win from their first playoff berth since 2002.
