Despite some decent play in Joe Burrow’s absence in the past couple of seasons, Jake Browning has looked like perhaps the worst quarterback in football this fall.
Browning hasn’t thrown for more than 140 yards since replacing Burrow mid-game in Week 2 — and he threw three interceptions in that one.
The Bengals’ ground game is even worse.
They average 50 rushing yards per game, 30 fewer yards per game than the next-worst rushing offense in the league.
Somehow, Cincy’s defense hasn’t been much better.
The Bengals have given up 864 total yards of offense over the past two games, which is the second-most in all of football, ahead of only the Cowboys.
Bet the Lions, whose offense is absolutely humming, scoring at least 34 points in each of the past three games, to cruise on the road.
Minnesota Vikings-Cleveland Browns Under 36.5 (in London)
An NFL debut for Dillon Gabriel against Brian Flores’ defensive scheme. Carson Wentz, behind a banged-up offensive line, running for his life from Myles Garrett and Co.
It’s going to be a slugfest in London between the Vikings and Browns.
The Browns have yet to score more than 17 points in a game this season.
Betting on the NFL?
Aside from an offensive explosion against the downtrodden Bengals, the Vikings offense has been nothing to write home about either, especially considering their shaky quarterback situation.
Oddsmakers have priced in these tough circumstances for the offenses in this game, but don’t let that scare you away.
It may be the lowest total of the season thus far, but I’m taking the under.
LAST WEEK: 1-1. Bears (W), Commanders (L).
SEASON: 2-6.
