00:00Let's get to Browns Bangles here because as I mentioned with the Jets, I think their season
00:10is very much on the line tonight. I don't think they can handle a loss. Cincinnati's,
00:14I don't know if it's on the line. I think this team is actually still going to make
00:17the playoffs. Just looking at their schedule, they should, but should with Cincinnati has
00:23not necessarily been great this season. They should have beat the New England Patriots
00:27in week one. They should have beat the commanders in week number two, at least just based on
00:31the pregame expectations. They should have rolled the New York Giants. Instead, they
00:37had their worst offensive performance since week number one. They got the cover. Thanks
00:41to Chase Brown hitting his head on the goalpost instead of going down. Shout out to him. They
00:46should roll the Browns today. Joe, do you think they will? I don't think they do. I
00:51think it's an ugly type of game. The fact that they're on the road again in back to
00:55back road games. I think that's a reason to back Cleveland. If I had to bet this game
01:00now, I was on Cleveland last week against Philadelphia getting eight and a half points.
01:05I lean to Cleveland Kev with the five and a half because Nick Chubb comes back. I think
01:09we're going to see more of a concerted effort to run the football consistently, work off
01:13of play action. Again, Deshaun Watson in the Cleveland Brown uniform to date this year,
01:18no game over 200 expecting this to get through the 41 and a half with a better passing attack
01:24on the other side. I just don't think you could do that. So it was the first time Cincinnati
01:29right knocking off the Giants that that defense showed there's themselves against a competent
01:35passing attack. I don't count week one against the Patriots and Jacoby Brissett as a test,
01:40right? That they shut down Daniel Jones contained him held that offense to seven points. That
01:45was a team that put up 29 points the week prior against Seattle. I'll roll with Cleveland,
01:51but I don't love it guys. It's hard to take Cleveland now. Understandably, we understand
01:55that, you know, the Cincinnati Bengals don't have a great defense by any stretch here,
01:59but there is a pedigree there, at least with the defensive coordinate that they can turn
02:01up the screws. Now, if you're playing a really good team, it's like, all right, maybe they're
02:05going to give up points and they have this season. You're not playing a very good team
02:08in this one. Understandably, Nick Chubb is coming back. Is it a ceremony that is coming
02:11back? Is he a hundred percent healthy? Is he going to be able to tote the rock 15 times?
02:15We'll find out, but let's start here with the basics. Cleveland's offensive line, Joe
02:18horrendous. Cleveland's quarterback, horrendous. Cleveland's wide receiving court. Now with
02:23Matt Amari Cooper is horrendous. Look, even like two guys lining up today, 128 wide receivers
02:28ranked at pro football focus. Two of them here, one 28th and one 22 out of one 28. I
02:34just don't know how Cleveland is scoring. Now wait till you see, sell me something.
02:37I'm going to sell you some beachfront property out there in the middle of the United States,
02:41but that's the simplistic look at this game. I look at Cleveland. They're an implosion
02:45away from just being bad and Cincinnati as much as we have them dead and buried and rightfully.
02:50So if you just keep winning football games, things will take care of themselves. Regardless
02:54of you're playing this Sunday, next Sunday or three weeks, they should win this game.
02:58And I'm going to say if it's four and a half or five and a half out there, it should be
03:01by a touchdown. I would be embarrassed again if they didn't win this game by a touchdown.
