Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
For the Bengals, this is going to be a tough road trip for a team that has just played miserable ball away from Paul Brown Stadium of late. They did get over the hump last week in a 20-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers, but the hosts looked absolutely hopeless on offense with rookie Jimmy Clausen at the helm.
Head coach Marvin Lewis knows that another sloppy game like that is going to be the death of his team. Carson Palmer still doesn’t quite look right this year. He has thrown for 707 yards and has done a good job keeping all of his receivers happy, but a 56.6 completion percentage and a 3/3 TD/INT ratio just isn’t going to cut it.
For the Browns, Jake Delhomme is going to be back under center after a two game absence. He threw for 227 yards in a Week 1 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he is clearly the choice for head coach Eric Mangini under center when he is healthy.
Jerome Harrison was supposed to be the man toting the rock this year on the ground, but thanks to a thigh injury, Peyton Hillis has had a chance to shine. The former member of the Denver Broncos had 144 yards on the ground last week, giving him 220 and three TDs on the season. He was the reason that Cleveland turned up on the right side of Week 3 NFL predictions in a 24-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on the road.
Cleveland’s defense hasn’t been torched this year that badly, as it has held two of its three opponents to 17 points or less. The pass defense did allow three TDs last week, but it has kept foes to just 199.0 yards per game for the year.
NFL Insider Tip: The Browns are 8-1 ATS over their L/2 seasons in the month of October, making this a month of particularly successful NFL predictions.
Cleveland is the pick in this game. This has been a feisty team all season long and it only seems like a matter of time until it figures out how to win a game outright. The Bengals have only covered one of their L/14 against opponents in Week 4, so for whatever reason, this appears to be a cursed week.
Cleveland makes for our top NFL predictions on Sunday.
