Dawgs By Nature
The DBN staff predicts the Week 16 games, plus the national media make their predictions for Browns vs. Bengals.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 16 game between the Browns and Bengals:
The Bengals still have some playoff hopes, but they would need to win out. We know they can score. The Browns have been having issues scoring. Look for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati passing game to keep scoring a lot with the passing game again coming up big. Bengals take it.
The Bengals are doing most everything offensively through Ja’Marr Chase, Chase Brown, and Tee Higgins to help keep the playoff dream alive for a red-hot Joe Burrow. The Browns give up a ton of big plays to wide receivers and won’t get to use their strength vs. the run much. The Browns’ QB situation has no chance opposite Burrow.
The Browns have averaged 10.5 points per game in losses to the Steelers and Chiefs, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson could get the start against Cincinnati. The Browns also are without Nick Chubb, who suffered a broken foot. The Bengals are looking to make a playoff push, and Joe Burrow has at least three TD passes in six straight games. Cincinnati has won the past two home meetings by an average of 15 points per game.
