Browns-Bengals prediction thread

[BengalBax]

Well, one week away to see what Marvin has got up his sleeve in terms of motivating this team. Sadly, I see our offense struggling too much next Sunday. The defense, combined with a bad Browns offense will keep the game attainable. Bengals fall short 20-14

[Barbarian]

I think it's going to be a close one--with Pothead the Second (William Green) & Co. getting hefty yardage on the ground against the Bungles for over 150+.

The Bungles lose in OT:

Clowns 24

Bungles 21

[B24]

This is one that the Bengals can win. This is also one that they must win. The Browns D isn't looking too good today against the Steelers. Hopefully the Bengals D doesn't make a bad Browns offense look great.

Bengals 30

Browns 20

[BengalszoneBilly]

This is one that the Bengals can win.

The biggest reason I see for this is due to the Browns losing (so far) in Pittsburg falling to 2-3! Cincinnati's record on the road against teams with a losing record isn't near as miserable as the 42 losses in a row suffered against teams with winning records!

Shayne wins it for the Bengals again...30-27 in OT!

[Scottishbengal]

Sheeesh, you guys are so tentative (realistic?)!

Bengals walk this one 24 -10, and look much better on both sides of the ball.........

........... I hope.

[CTBengalsFan]

CJ's coming out party... Palmer's too

Bengals win

[CJBestInAFC]

Yeah I don't think the Browns have the secondary to match up with the Bengals Wrs. They made Big Ben look very impressive, which has some Steeler fans claiming he is the second coming of Marino. The Browns are not good. The Brown's oline is not very good, so I hope the Bengals Dline can create some pressure. Bengals win 31-6. Palmer has all day to pass and picks the Brown's secondary apart.

[vettespd20]

Bengals are going to come back on fire bengals 27-14

[kybengalsfan]

I sure hope you guys are correct about us betting the Browns. Man, this will be one long season if we lose to those guys. We need a win in a big way. You can bet they will be fired up at home after getting their butts kicked today by the Steelers.

[bengalsfan33]

The Bengals are going to be coming in this one pumped as ever, I have to go with my Bengals in this one...

Bengals-24

Browns-13

[Tiger Stripes]

its hard to pick against the bengals but its just as hard to see them win this year with that defense. 13-10 browns. face it we just dont have it this year!

31-6???????

*Cough* *Cough* HOMER!!! *Cough!!!*

So, you're saying that the Clowns can't run on the 32nd ranked Run Defense???

Give me a break, fellas.

[ackley1]

We will win this game. If we don't win this game I will not watch a game until we win. Well after the MNF game, I have to watch that one. We probably won't be playing on Monday night again for anther 14 years.

[BengalszoneBilly]

So, you're saying that the Clowns can't run on the 32nd ranked Run Defense???

Sorry Barb, that spot is taken by Indy. I heard it when I was watching the Raiders/Colt game. Besides, the Bengals are way better than that...28th or 29th I think!

[TippCityRick]

Our kitty cats will be victorious this coming weekend only because they are playing a team sorrier than themselves. I see it as such:

Kitty Kate - 24

Clowns - 16

We'll play a bit better cuz we'll be healthier. Don't expect to see PW this week, but most everyone else will be there. If Braham goes then Rudi rushes for 150 but he'll be over 100 even with Foundenout the Warrior.

[The Brew Man]

Man, this is a tough one. The Bengals will make Garcia and company look good, but its still a close call. IF this was at PBS, Id say Bengals win it. Its not though

Clowns 28

Bengals 20

Sunday's game against the Browns will feature a new motivational technique by coach marvin Lewis, intended to help balance the team's offensive playcalling. OC Bob Bratkowski will be strapped to a large board painted with a bulls-eye and mounted on a rotating platform. Before each offensive play, coach lewis will ask his offensive coordinator, "Run or pass?" If the answer is "pass," the board will be turned to face the Cleveland crowd, who will then be encouraged to pelt Bratkowski with beer bottles, batteries, minature footballs, torn-off chair seats, "dawg" bones, and any other objects they may have on hand.

Thanks to this, the Bengals run the ball down Cleveland's throat all day. Palmer throws just 13 passes for 89 yards and a TD as Rudi piles up 170 yards and the defense scores one TD off of three turnovers. Final 27-13.

I hope ALL that happens! The weakest link on the Bengals (IMO) is Bratkowski and his "what was I thinking" play calling.

With an extra week off, hopefully guys coming back from injury and can start:

Bengals 27

Browns 12

(All FGs for the Browns, the Bengals defense bends but does not break in this one)

[kingwilly]

Solid Win:Predictions

Bengals - 31

Browns - 16

The biggest stats:

Can the Bengals D-line pressure Gay-cia?

Can Palmer avoid the big pick?

Can Brat stick with Rudi?

Can S-Teams actually execute?

I think Y-Y-Y-and-Y.

The biggest surprise:

Cliff Russell - 6-130 - 1 TD

Things to remember....

Winslow is gone. Garcia makes bad throws. The Browns O-Lne is bad. Name one Cleveland DB.

[San Antonio Bengal]

The screwball prediction of the week:

11 - 11 tie

Bengals (TD/blocked extra point, FG, safety)

Browns (TD/two point conversion, FG)

[cincy9275]

the bengals should be able to win this game. bengals 24 browns 17

[BengalNation1281]

So I've predicted a Bengals victory on every prediction thread so far this year, and I'm not going to stop now.

If we don't beat the Browns, I might not be so quick to do it next time.

Bengals 23, Browns 10

I would have to agree--- Bengals will come out fired up. This is one we cannot afford to lose. I will be making the roadtrip up there with some friends to make sure!!!

Bengals 31

Browns 13

Who DEY----!!!!!!!!!!

31-6???????

*Cough* *Cough* HOMER!!! *Cough!!!*

So, you're saying that the Clowns can't run on the 32nd ranked Run Defense???

Give me a break, fellas.

Wow you have a life. All you do is come on here and bash the Bengals and call them the Bungals and call the Browns the Clowns. So what if I am a homer? At least I don't have to go to other teams sites and bash people for rooting for their home town team. It was a bold prediction, but that is all it is a prediction. The Brown's have a very weak oline, and so did Miami. I do remember the D in that game looked great for the Bengals, and it was against a team that had a weak offense. Well the Browns have a weak offense also, so I think they will be able to stop Suggs and Green and hold the Browns to under 100 yards rushing. I am saying the Browns will not be able to run the ball effectively against the Bengals and the Bengals will force the Browns to pass. A side note to throw in is when the Bengals played the 49ers last year Garcia threw for 344 yards, but the Bengals secondary has improved and Garcia is without TO. The Browns have no WR weapons. I want to say it is going to be close, but if the Browns can't rush the ball it will be a blow out. Why don't you give everyone on this forum a break and just go away. You are annoying and ignorant Barbara. That is your new name since you can’t stop calling the Bengals the Bungals I will start calling you Barbara. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tiger Stripes]

CJ who made lee suggs the starter? oh yea wait wasnt it the bengals? what makes you think the browns wont be able to run on a defense that might be as bad as last year?
