Featured Game: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns
Time: 1:05 pm ET / 10:05 pm PT
Television: Fox, Fox One, NFL+ (Canada TSN 1/3)
Bengals QB Joe Burrows won both meetings with the Browns last season recording five touchdowns and no interceptions. I know the Bengals have lost their L/3 opening season tilts, but Cleveland also has a less than stellar reputation for winning their first game of the season as their 3-21-1 record in openers since 1999 would indicate.
Bottom line here is I’m betting on Joe Burrows to be the difference maker in a game that has a high potential of being decided by a TD.
The Bengals are 17-1 SUATS as a road favorite of -3 to -7 points since 2015 and overall are a bankroll expanding 56-31 ATS in road/neutral games dating back 10 seasons with Cincinnati HC Zac Taylor having recorded a 20-5 SU / 18-5 ATS record as a favorite of -3 to -7 points since 2022.
Pick: Cincinnati -4.5 -114
