Kick off is set for 8:25 on NFL Network.
Cleveland Browns
The Browns welcomed in Arizona Cardinals Sunday afternoon and they raced out to a 20-7 lead in the first half. They had all the momentum just 2 minutes before half, but decided to play it safe and force the Cardinals to use their remaining timeouts as they set up shop from inside their own 10.
Arizona forced a punt and grabbed a field goal before half that essentially changed the whole complexion of the game. The Cardinals offense took off and their defense shut down McCown and delivered hit after hit to him.
Now, McCown will sit out Thursday’s game and will hand the ball over to Johnny Manziel.

This will be Manziel’s second start of the season as he defeated the Titans during the Browns home opener back on 9/20/
Manziel finished 8 of 15 for 172 yards and threw a pair of touchdowns in the win. He did receive a majority of the work against the Jets in Week 1 after McCown got hurt as he completed 13 of 24 passes for 182 yards to go along with a touchdown and an interception.
With Manziel getting the start, expect the run game behind Isaiah Crowell to get a lot of reps. He’s struggled lately, especially last game as he finished with just 14 yards on 10 rushes.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are the complete opposite of the Browns right now. Sitting as one of the NFL’s undefeateds remaining, the Bengals come in off a very sub par performance Sunday, but still managed to do what good teams do, win.
QB Andy Dalton threw more than 1 interception for the first time in a game all season as he struggled against a very difficult Steelers’ defense. Dalton finished with a QB rating of only 64.7.
Dalton did however hook up with AJ Green with just over 2 minutes to play which gave the Bengals the lead as they came from behind to grab a 16-10 win.

Cincinnati comes in 3-0 SU at home and 2-0-1 ATS this season.
