AustinsProps' MNF: Bengals @ Browns Prediction & Pick - 10/31

It’s Halloween, and we get Monday Night Football! What more could you ask for? This matchup is a divisional game which is why I believe Vegas expects this game to stay competitive. I personally am laying the juice on the Bengals tonight as I expect them to dominate. The Bengals are simply a better football team with playoff aspirations and are in a spot where they must win. Browns have underperformed with the nightmare situation they’re organization decided to get involved with for some reason, and now they see themselves 2-5 with playoff hopes dwindling by the day.

Looking deeper into this game both teams are set to have a few key players being inactive tonight. Bengals will be without star players Jamar Chase and Eli Apple, while the Browns will be without Denzel Ward, Wyatt Teller, and David Njoku. This will play a part for both squads, however the Bengals have more depth at those positions and should be okay.

The Bengals are coming off 2 victories where the offense appears to finally be clicking. This will be huge tonight as the Browns could find themselves in a position where they’re chasing points. If that’s the case I don’t see anyway where the Browns are able to keep up especially if the Bengals front 7 on defense stops the run and forces Brissett to beat them with his arm. The Browns have dropped games in the last couple weeks to the Falcons, Ravens, and Patriots, in my opinion their team just looks to be done. I don’t see them keeping up with Cincy tonight.

WHO DEY?
