Will the Cleveland Browns be able to get revenge on the Cincinnati Bengals for the heavy defeat they suffered last winter (2.31pm)? Bookmakers tend to believe not. We, for our part, do not make hasty judgments in our predictions for the next round of the NFL, as both teams are not in ideal conditions.
Cleveland
Cleveland is showing weak football this season, deservedly so among the outsiders. Recently, the team has undergone numerous changes. However, this did not lead to a fundamental improvement in the situation. The boys suffered four consecutive defeats, without being able to show anything exceptional in attack. The future prospects of Kevin Stefanski’s gang do not seem too bright, given that the calendar is not the most favorable.
Cincinnati
Even Cincinnati is satisfied with dubious successes. However, the work on the weak points is slowly bearing fruit. The team doesn’t look like a guaranteed playoff participant yet, but it doesn’t appear hopeless either. Days ago, Zac Taylor’s protégés clearly beat New York (17:7), and before that they lost an uncompromising fight against Baltimore (38:41). Evan McPherson stood out positively in both cases, with pretty good stats (six extra-points and a field goal).
The editorial team’s predictions
In this match, Cleveland will most likely still offer some resistance to Cincinnati. Despite the unsatisfactory results, the hosts rarely allow themselves to be humiliated, and we expect that thanks to the strong support of the fans they will be able to avoid humiliation again. The home team winning with a handicap of +10.5 is a reasonable option for the match.
