Bengals fan perspective:
This will be Bengals 4th game in a row against a top 8 rushing attack. Chubb is a different animal than they have faced all season and still missing DJ Reader as an anchor of the rush defense. Bengals should be prepared for the run, but Browns run O should be able to get the ball moving relatively easily. Whether they can punch it in the endzone regularly on those drives will likely be a determining factor in how this game will go.
Bengals have yet to give up a 2nd half TD this season. Not sure this is expected to continue much longer, but sentiment is the same: If score is close at halftime, game favors Bengals.
Bengals offense has been growing all season and looked in top form last week. Expect almost universal shotgun snaps from this offense. Losing Chase hurts obviously, but lots of weapons for Burrow to choose from. Will be interesting to see how Burrow looks without his favorite weapon out there. He has looked locked in the past game and a half. Game looks like it has slowed down for Burrow the past few weeks, but this will be the best pass rush Bengals have seen since Week 2. If Browns defense can get a few sacks and force Burrow into some mistakes (as they have in the past) then this could stifle the Bengals offense. If not, it could be a long game for a relatively poor Browns pass D.
Bengals have viewed this game as a must win for weeks now, especially with 0-2 start in the division. I think they stay locked in on offense and defense makes enough plays in the 2nd half to pull out a win. Bengals 27 Browns 20
