Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals Preview
The only reason you have to think twice about backing the Bengals in this game is their disturbing tendency to play like garbage in the opening month of the season.
We only have to look back 12 months to see them stumbling and fumbling their way through a shock Week 1 loss to what turned out to be an atrocious Patriots team.
Joe Burrow has gone 1-4 in season opening games in his career, averaging just 207 yards per game with a 4-5 touchdown to interception ratio.
So will they struggle against this potentially awful Browns team?
Clevelands pass rush can cause problems for the Bengals porous offensive line, but the Bengals pass catchers can do some damage if they catch the ball.
But given the Bengals recent record in openers, they might not be as sharp as they should be and a closer than expected win looks like the way to go here.
