Matchup: Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Cleveland Browns in their final game of the 2023 regular season. The Bengals are 8-8, and after their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, Cincinnati was eliminated from playoff contention. The Browns on the other hand are 11-5, and after crushing the New York Jets last week, Cleveland cemented themselves as the 5 seed in the AFC. This matchup has no postseason implications, and the Browns have already announced that they will be benching their key starters. The Bengals had a rough season, but in their final game Cincinnati will have a chance to take out all their frustration on their AFC North rivals.

Browns vs. Bengals Game Predictions
This Browns versus Bengals matchup is going to be an utter blowout by Cincinnati. The Browns have already made the playoffs, and are cemented as the 5 seed whether they win or lose. This game is meaningless from Cleveland’s perspective. But for the Bengals, they can take out all of their frustration on a season that repeatedly beat them down. Sunday’s matchup is the Bengals final game of the season, and they’re going to want to give their fans a show.
Cincy’s players won’t be taking the day off, as several Bengals are looking to pad the resume. Cincinnati’s QB Jake Browning has been a good replacement for Joe Burrow and will be looking to have another big game with the hope of being picked up as a starter next season. WR Ja’Marr Chase had himself another 1,000+ yard season (1,197 yards & 7 touchdowns), and will be looking to eclipse the 1,300 yard mark. RB Joe Mixon is 77 yards away from having himself a 1,000 yard rushing season, so he too will be taking this game seriously. Cincinnati may be out of the playoffs, but these players have a competitive drive that won’t allow them to quit, and against the Browns second string players, the Bengals will be on the hunt.
Moneyline Pick: Cincinnati Bengals (-335)
ATS Pick: Cincinnati Bengals (-7.0)
O/U Pick: Under (37.5)
Prediction: Browns 10; Bengals 27
