Game: Cincinnati Bengals (6-8) at Cleveland Brown (6-7-1)

Summary: You add defensive consultant Hue Jackson to the Bengals while you also subtracting Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Tyler Eifert, Tyler Kroft, Carl Lawson, and now Tyler Boyd and what it equals is a disaster for Cincinnati Bengals as they head into Week 16 with a long list of injuries.

The Cleveland Browns were able to beat the Bengals the last time they played and at that Cincinnati was healthy. Now with the Bengals full of practice squad players, where do the Browns NOT have the advantage?

Cleveland comes into this one with the better quarterback, running game, offensive line, receiving corps, pass rush, linebackers, and secondary. Including a hot streak of 4-2 since Hue Jackson was let go. This one should get ugly.

The only reason I give Cincinnati this many points is for my respect of wideout John Ross and running back Joe Mixon’s big play abilities. Maybe they’ll sneak in a touchdown, but they’ll probably just be lucky to get field goals. Browns win, the Bengals will likely get a top-10 pick and clinch last place in the AFC North. Book it.

Final score: Cleveland 34, Cincinnati 13
