BENGALS (-8) over Browns: Cleveland remains the only winless team in the NFL following a dismal offensive performance last week when it was held to just seven points and 184 yards while also turning the ball over five times. The Bengals enter off a surprising upset in Denver despite offensive struggles of their own (10 first downs and 190 yards). With the Browns on a 3-12 against the spread run inside the AFC North and the vast success that Cincinnati has had in this series (6-0 straight up and ATS with a 23-point average margin of victory), we have no issue leaning with the home team here.
COLTS (+3¹/₂) over Titans: After being an away favorite just once the previous three seasons, the Titans are now listed as AFC South chalk for the third time this year (1-1 thus far). The Colts have gone 10-2 ATS following their bye week and actually led at halftime in their Nashville matchup in October. With the Titans posting just a 9-27 ATS mark inside their division and the Colts having covered 13 of their past 16 as a home ’dog, we’ll gladly take the points in this one.
Last week (NFL): 0-1- 1
Season: 13-7- 2
