1. Bengals Get First Win of Season
In a strange offseason, the Browns were dealt a raw deal by hiring a new coach bringing in yet another offense for Baker Mayfield to learn. The Browns struggled in their opener against the Ravens and now have to work on a short week with a condensed playbook.
The Bengals bring in a rookie quarterback, but have a veteran offensive presence in Zac Taylor’s second season as Head Coach. Joe Burrow will have a true fire in his eyes come Thursday and will be playing with a vengeance.
Burrow will look to make up for his mistakes in week one and will take it out on this battered Browns defense.
The Bengals will win this high scoring affair behind Burrow’s arm and Green’s hands. The Bengals get their first win of the 2020 season and set themselves up for a strong performance in the AFC North.
Give me the Bengals over the Browns – 31-24.
