The toughest game of the season to predict is today vs the Bengals because neither team have much to play for. The Browns are getting ready for the post season and the Bengals are getting ready for the off season.
The Bengals however have Ja'Marr Chase who is "chasing" several season records. I listen the the Bengals Booth Podcast which is excellent and they have often interviewed Ja'Marr Chase and one thing that comes through is he is extremely competitive and goal oriented. With Chase on the field against many Browns backups, and the Browns fielding a journeyman QB who was on the Arizona practice squad two weeks ago, I see this game clearly going to the Bengals.
I've predicted the Browns to lose more than I have predicted them to win this year, mostly because 24 years of losing has me extremely slow to buy into this team. Well, I am bought in now to the Browns. Today's prediction of a loss has nothing to do lost faith, I simply believe without Myles Garrett the Browns D is a different defense, they will be playing 11 vs 11 instead of 10 vs 9 today. Add in Ja'Marr "chasing" his records and a backup to the backup to the backup to the backup QB on the field today for Cleveland and it is hard to imagine a win on the road.
