The Browns (1-9) lost at Detroit 37-38 in Week 11 and still sit last in the AFC North. QB Brady Quinn made 21 of 33 passes for 304 yards with four TD’s overall he’s thrown for 812 yards with five TD’s and five interceptions for a 70.4 passer rating. QB Quinn will make his first career start against the Bengals. RB Jamaal Lewis had 24 carries for 75 yards, while WR Mohamed Massaquoi made five catches for 115 yards with a TD. WR Chansi Stuckey, WR Joshua Cribs and FB Michael Gaines each added a TD. Can the Browns possibly rebound from such disheartening defeats to put up a fight against the Bengals? The Browns might be able to get some passes in against the Bengals 19th ranked pass defense , but they must watch for CB Johnathan Joseph who leads the Bengals with five interceptions. They do a lot on the ground with their 22nd ranked running game, but they’ll be against a defense that is the second best in the league against the rush. Jamal Lewis has nine 100-yard rushing games against Cincinnati in his career. The Browns have averaged 14.3ppg and allowed 28ppg in their last three games. They are 1-5 SU on the road where they average 12ppg and allow 26.5ppg. They are 4-6 ATS and 4-6 over/under.

The Bengals (7-3) lost at Oakland 17-20 in Week 11 but still lead the AFC North. QB Carson Palmer made 14 of 22 passes for 207 yards with an interception and had two rushing TD’s; overall he’s thrown for 2,217 yards with 14 TD’s and eight interceptions for a 87.2 passer rating. RB Bernard Scott had 21 carries for 119 yards, while WR Chad OchoCinco made four catches for 67 yards. They must be more disciplined; they committed eight penalties costing them 59 yards. In the team's seven wins, QB Carson Palmer has thrown 13 TD’s with only four interceptions and been sacked 10 times. In the team's three losses QB Carson Palmer has thrown just one TD, with four interceptions and has been sacked seven times. When the Bengals protect Palmer and he takes care of the ball, they are tough to beat. Their offense is ranked 16th overall with a 20th ranked pass game and a ninth ranked running game. The Bengals have a chance to finish undefeated in the AFC North for the first time in franchise history. QB Palmer is 7-2 SU in his career against the Browns. The Bengals have averaged 17.3ppg and allowed 13ppg in their last three games. They are 3-2 SU at home where they average 21.8ppg and allow 15.4ppg. They are 6-4 ATS and 5-5 over/under.
