You aren't guaranteed a win just because you are an NFL franchise. The Browns are bad. If the Bengals lose to them it will arguably be the worst loss in Bengals history under Marvin. What other loss to a terrible team have the Bengals suffered under Marvin would be worse than the Bengals losing this week to the Browns?

The playoff loss to the Chargers is the most inexcusable loss under Marvin.

Bengals lose on a missed field goal.

RGIII will start this week.

The Bengals should win. But as a coworker and I discussed, all things line up for a Browns win. If they are going to get one, it's this one.

 

Coming off a bye, RGIII returns energized, home game, Bengals hurting, etc.

 

I still think the Bengals win but it may be a squeaker.

Bengals: Ugly

Browns: More Ugly

 

Bengals win by default.

1-3 inches of snow predicted. Going to be ground and pound.

Good for my fantasy team hopefully. Please let Hill have the best game of his season.

Browns 20

Bengals 17

Watch the game end in a tie.

SF we all know FF74 creates these threads every week so he can bash the Bengals. It would be the highlight of his year if the Browns knocked off the Bengals. He gets more enjoyment out of the Bengals playing bad than he does the Steelers playing well. Let him have his moment. Haha

 

It would also be the highlight of my season but for different reasons.

 

The real question regarding this game, is RG3 going to start?

 

Yes. RG3 starts. We will get to see how well he is healed from his shoulder injury. I guess the one positive thing is that he has fresh legs.

 

As much as I hate to admit it, there really is very little logical reason to think that the Browns will win. But this is football and men play this game with a lot of pride so perhaps in this game the Browns will find a way and the Bengals will have a really bad day.

 

RG3 returning and Hue Jackson playing his old team and good friend Marvin Lewis would make for a good story if the unlikely occurs.
