NFL Underdog Pick Week 16
December 22nd 2018 -
Special K
Cincinnati Bengals (+8.5) at Cleveland Browns
Sorry, but the world has turned upside down when a team that won 1 game in the
prior two seasons is an 8.5 point favorite to any team in the NFL. I had to dig
deep to find out the last time the Browns were such a huge favorite. You have to go
all the way back to 2010 season when the Browns faced the Panthers and were a 9 point
favorite at home. The Panthers were 1-9 going into this game and Peyton Hillis
was the feature back of the Browns. Of course you want to know, did the Browns
cover? No.
Listen, I know the Browns want to lay it on Hue Jackson again but the Bengals
aren't the same pushover team that the Browns beat a few weeks ago. I even
predicted the Browns would win that game and get their first win on the road in
ages. However, that game was Jeff Driskel's first time as a starter. Driskel
isn't exactly lighting it up on offense but the Bengals defense is much
improved.
This is divisional game that means something to the Bengals so I like the points
in this one.
The Bengals are also 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
Take the points and the Bengals
