From Jimmy Boyd's picks
After giving the game away in Oakland last week, expect the Bengals to be out for blood at home Sunday against a Browns team they'll be ready for and motivated to play. Cleveland took Cincy to overtime in the season's first meeting, but I don't see this one playing out the same way. The Bengals have an opportunity to pull off the season sweep in the division and I like them to roll. A couple key systems stand out here. First off, Cincy is on a 19-6 ATS run vs. bad defensive teams who give up 24 or more points per game in the second half of the season. Secondly, Cincy is 16-3 ATS vs. poor passing defenses allowing 7 or more passing yards per attempt in the second half of the season. Expect the Bengals to respond after a wake up call last week.
Bengals -13
