Browns verses Bengals
Vegas Line: Cleveland + 2.5 Over/Under: 35

What to expect from Bengals offense?

The Bengals do have some great skill position players- RB.Cory Dillion, WR.Darnay Scott, and WR.Peter Warrick! But the Q.B. position is still questionable with Jon Kita? They will try run Dillion too establish the running game and let Kitna pick his moments too throw to his very talented recievers.

What the Browns defense has to do!

They must stop Dillion on first and second downs and force the Bengals too pass. The Bengals Offensive Line didn't play well against the Steelers and our Defensive Line should be able handle them! They need to stop the big plays and make the Bengals work for every yard.

What the Browns must do!

QB.Tim Couch, is improving in every game and has been clutch in the second half. The Browns should have a pretty balanced attack against the Bengals defense and put plenty of points on the board.

What do I think?

Both teams have improved but in the battle of Ohio I think the Browns have shown more talent on both sides of the ball. The Browns will win by 10!

Some Thoughts:

The Browns looked very flat for this game! The play calling was very predicable? The Browns need too turn Couch loose and start playing the bigger RB.Ben Gay! WR.Quincy Morgan, played a terrible game and needs to be benched.

The defense couldn't stop Cory Dillion, who had a field day against them. They also couldn't put any pass pressure on Q.B..Jon Kitna?
