The Cleveland Browns (11-5) and Cincinnati Bengals (8-8) meet Sunday for the Week 18 regular-season finale at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Bengals odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Browns secured a playoff spot last week with a 37-20 win and cover against the New York Jets. QB Joe Flacco passed for 300-plus yards for the 4th consecutive game, and Cleveland won and covered for the 4th in a row. He’ll be watching, with QB Jeff Driskel getting the nod, as Cleveland is locked into the 5th seed of the playoffs.
The Bengals are eliminated, but can still finish with a winning record. If Cincinnati wins, every AFC North would have a winning record to finish the season. That hasn’t happened since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
Cincinnati has lost and failed to cover its past 2 games, with the Over going 4-1 in the past 5 games. The Bengals are looking to avenge a 24-3 loss in Cleveland back in Week 1.
