The Browns come south to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. The NFL just set this game to kickoff at 1:00pm on CBS. The Browns have locked up the #5 seed in the playoffs and will probably be resting people. The Bengals have a chance even with the Burrow injury mid-season to finish the season with a winning record. I do hope they play some guys to see if they can fit into the teams plans moving forward next season. Go Bengals! WHO DEY!!

What will the attendance over/under be for this one?

The forecast for now has it as cloudy and about 40.

I think it would be a fun game to go to. 

The real question is the O/U on drunken fights and PI/Drunken-Disorderly arrests.    As far as the game goes, if Cleveland plays their starters for any length of time, Browns win.

I forgot about that part of it.  Cleveland fans were always the roughest bunch in my opinion.

I definitely would sit Tee, Chase, and even Boyd. Let Yoshi, Charlie Jones, etc get the reps in this one. Let Murphy and Ossai start at DE on the DL. Then let Chase Brown also get the majority of the carries run the ball. As you mentioned let some of these guys play, because this game means nothing in the grand scheme of things. If they win every team in the division would finish above .500 which is great and everything. However, I would much rather get a higher draft pick.

Makes sense to me.

In today's press conference Zac Taylor said the Bengals are going to do everything they can to win.

Tee and Ja'Marr practiced today.

Trey Hendrickson has a chance to lead the NFL in sacks - currently tied with TJ Watt. They have to let him play as much as he wants to play. Might be the most underrated defensive player in the NFL.

Personally, I think a win over the Browns is important even if it is with the Browns sitting players.

As to draft picks, the Bengals are somewhere 13-16. Not much of a difference IMO.

I agree.  As much as I want the best draft picks I want us to go out and take it to the Browns this week.  I want the Bengals to show everyone we are force, even without Joe.

Who Dey!!

From Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com:

The 11-5 Browns have wrapped up the No. 5 seed in the AFC, and will face the winner of the AFC South in the wild card round; either the Jaguars, Colts or Texans on the road.

I would love seeing the Bengals finish with a win but I don’t see them beating Cleveland with how they are playing right now. I believe Cleveland is the next best to Baltimore and maybe the only team that can beat them if anyone can.

Even with the Browns sitting players?

Didn’t know they were doing that. If so than the Bengals should be able to win.
