Betting Line

Bengals (-7.5), according to Sportsbook.

I will admit that I don't have many points being scored here, so that number is scary. Still, I like the Bengals to get the win and cover. They won by 10 points in Cleveland in Week 1, and have significantly improved since then.

What's at Stake

For the Browns, very little. The Bengals are still in the mix for a division title or Wild Card berth. This is a must win for them.

Browns' Injury Report

QB Colt McCoy is probable.

RB Montario Hardesty is questionable.

RB Peyton Hillis is out.

Bengals' Injury Report

WR A.J. Green is questionable.

Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit' Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: Either defense. I don't anticipate a lot of points in this one.

Sit 'Em: Bengals QB Andy Dalton. I normally like him a lot, but Cleveland actually has a strong pass defense.

Sleeper: Browns WR Josh Cribbs. He is still this team's only real downfield passing threat. With his speed, I like Cribbs' chances to make a big play or two.

What They're Saying

On the Bengals website, Geoff Hobson quoted Andrew Whitworth as being disappointed with his team's two game losing streak, but also pointing out that they need to look forward.

"

Yeah, we gave them a run for their money and, yeah, they know they played great games against us and still both of them barely got away. But we get another crack at it this week. It’s Cleveland and it’s another game we have something to prove because the last time we beat them late and this time we have to jump on them and stay on them.

Browns' Player to Watch

Josh Cribbs. He's one of the more exciting players in the league and certainly the Browns' top name. Their best chance at an upset depends on a big game from Cribbs.

Bengals' Player to Watch

RB Cedric Benson. He needs to be a factor in this game and for the remainder of the season. The Bengals get one more crack at the Steelers and Ravens. If they are going to win, Benson will need to be a factor.

Key Matchup

Dalton vs. the Cleveland secondary. I said earlier that I don't anticipate a big game from Dalton. But he can't turn the ball over. If he does, an upset is possible.

On the Hotseat

Colt McCoy is on the hotseat. The Browns have two first-round picks and if they can't get a quarterback where those picks are, they certainly will have the weapons to trade up. McCoy will need to prove that he's the QB of the future.

Prediction: Bengals 23, Browns 14

A.J. Green's health will be a factor, but the Bengals are just a better team. They have already beaten the Browns in Cleveland this season. It stands to reason that they will complete the sweep in Cincinnati.
