An AFC North battle goes down in NFL Week 16. The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves still alive for a playoff spot. However, they need to win out and get a lot of help. The Cleveland Browns season has been derailed with injuries especially at the quarterback position. Below are the Browns at Bengals Preview and Predictions.
The story in this game will be the quarterback change for the Cleveland Browns. As much as we enjoyed Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback for the Browns, they will start Dorian Thompson-Robinson in this game. Additionally, the Browns lose Nick Chubb for the remaining of the season to a broken foot.
Meanwhile, the Bengals still find themselves in hunt for the playoffs but need plenty of help to there. The Bengals do have several questionable tags going into this game against the Browns. First on the offensive line, Alex Cappa and Orlando Brown are both questionable. Additionally, Sam Hubbard and Tanner Hudson are both out for this game.

Best Bets
Let’s throw the stats out the window. My biggest question in this game will be how does Dorian Thompson-Robinson keep up with the scoring fire power of the Bengals? The schedule of offenses and quarterbacks has gotten easier for the Bengals as the season progresses and I believe they can keep their output on offense.
As I mentioned above, the Bengals have an outside shot of getting into the playoffs and need a lot of help. But they can control what can do and that’s winning games especially against a team down to their third string quarterback.
Best Bet: Bengals -9
Player Prop Best Bet
Joe Burrow Over 36.5 Pass Attempts
I am not going to second guess this one. Burrow has been on tear throwing the football for the Bengals and I think that continues in this game for Burrow. Burrow has exceeded this projection in seven straight games. As I mentioned above, the Bengals are still in the hunt for the playoffs and Burrow will do everything to help this team to win out.
