The under is 10-2 in Bengals last 12 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Browns last 7 games overall.

You can make a case for the Cleveland Browns in the underdog role at home as they're in a must win spot, they're playing a hated rival and there's still talent on this team with the fourth best rushing attack in the league. With that said, the Browns have been awful during this losing stretch, mainly on the defensive side where they can't stop the run, and they're 29th in scoring defense. The Cincinnati Bengals are playing their best ball of the season, and they're a balanced club that's top 10 in scoring offense and scoring defense. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. I'll grab the Bengals by a touchdown.
