CLEVELAND BROWNS VS. CINCINNATI BENGALS INSTANT REACTION
Could Myles Garrett set the NFL’s single season sack record on Joe Burrow?
How would Shedeur Sanders look in his final start as a rookie?
The Cleveland Browns will try to upset another AFC North foe on Sunday in Week 18 when they visit their in-state rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns (4-12) spoiled the Pittsburgh Steelers’ chance to clinch the division last week, and winning this Battle of Ohio would be a good capper for a lost season. The Bengals (6-10) have won the past four meetings, including a 17-16 victory in Cleveland to kick off the 2025 NFL season. The biggest reason to watch is to see if Cleveland’s Myles Garrett can get one sack to break the season record of 22.5, held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.
The Browns are 7-8 against the spread this season and failed to cover in their final five last season, while Cincinnati is 8-8 ATS but 5-1 in its past six. The Bengals have covered the spread in four of their past five home meetings in the Battle of Ohio. The Browns are 6-14 ATS in the past 20 meetings overall and have won outright just once in their past 15 road games.
