Cappers Browns vs. Bengals Betting Trends + Pick

Week 4 NFL cappers matchup tips for this week’s Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals matchup, plus an NFL Betting Preview, a look at the gambling trends, plus a free pick

Bengals Host Browns In ‘O-fer Bowl’

The Cleveland Browns (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U) and Cincinnati Bengals (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U), can both kiss their postseason hopes goodbye BetUS NFL wagering fanatics!

That’s right, you heard it here first. Both teams have already shot their postseason hopes down like a wounded duck after dropping each of their first three games.

Now, the teams will meet with each club looking for their first win of the season.

The Bengals didn’t look too bad in losing to the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, 26-23 in overtime while the Browns looked pitiful in losing to the Baltimore Ravens in two games that I both predicted correctly in the BetUS Locker Room last week.

Cincinnati rolled up 347 yards of total offense to finally get their usually prolific offense untracked.

“A lot of positives,” receiver Chad Ocho Cinco said. “A lot of good things. A couple of missed assignments across the board – you know, it was always one thing on every play, which it usually is when plays break down. But we had a lot of positives, man. We looked really good on film.”

The Browns, on the other hand, have the NFL’s worst offense, (207.3 yards per game), and are one more interception away from benching quarterback Derek Anderson who has floundered badly after making the Pro Bowl in a breakout season last year.

“We have to look at all of the positions,” Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said. “We’ll definitely try to get the other guy ready, (Brady Quinn) and get him ready to go and we’ll see how it progresses from there.”

Crennel did make a valid point by saying that Quinn is still unproven in the NFL.

“If we decided to go with (Quinn),” Crennel said, “we’d just have to put it on the fact that what we’ve seen in practice and what we feel he’s able to do because there’s no hard evidence that says he’d have more success.”

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer went 27-for-39 for 286 yards and a touchdown to T.J. Houshmandzadeh against the Giants.

“We were much sharper in a lot of areas in the passing game,” Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said. “We still have to work it and make sure we’re being exact and give (Palmer) the opportunity to deliver the ball where he thinks it ought to be delivered.”

Here is a look at the key trends for each team, followed by my analysis and NFL Free Picks:

The Browns are 5-1 ATS in their last six games in Week Four.
The Browns are 10-2 ATS in their last twelve road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
The Bengals are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
The Bengals are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in September.
The Under is 4-0 in Brown’s last four games following a ATS loss.
The Under is 5-0 in Bengal’s last five vs. AFC North.
The Browns are 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings.

NFL Odds

Cleveland Browns +3½ -110
Cincinnati Bengals -3½ -110

Over 44 -110
Under 44 -110

Analysis: I’m thinking the best wager for this matchup will be to take the Over as I expect each team to put some points on the board against their opponent’s weak defense. With the Browns looking as atrocious as ever and the Bengals improving each week since their season opener, I also like the Bengals to cover the spread narrowly.
