Bengals open as 9 point favorites vs Browns in Week 12

The Bengals haven’t been favored to win many games this season, but they are favored to beat the Browns in Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Bengals just notched their fourth win of the season against the Denver Broncos and next up should be the easiest game of the year.

Of course, it’s nearly impossible to predict what happens in the NFL and what looks to be an easy game on paper could quickly turn into a loss. This week, the Bengals take on the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Bengals beat the Browns 31-7 earlier this year in Cleveland, though the Browns were missing some key players in that game. The Bengals got banged up in Denver, but should be fielding a roster capable of beating the 0-10 Browns.

The Browns are once again looking to avoid going 0-16 and after they play the Bengals, they'll pay a visit to the Chargers, the only team the Browns have won against since Hue Jackson took over as head coach.

The Bengals opened as 9 point betting favorites against the Browns, per BookMaker.eu with an over/under of 38 points in the game. Here are all of the opening odds that were released as of Sunday night.
