Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns Prediction
Joe Burrow just signed the largest contract in NFL history, and I expect him to play like it this season. In terms of success around the league, there is not a lot that this young star has not accomplished yet, and I would not be betting against the odds of this man continuing to be very successful down the road in his career.
With that said, the Cleveland Browns are one of the only squads that really seems to simply have his number. Joe cool is just 1-3 against the Browns in his career, and with the Browns improving in the offseason, going to beat them on the road here in Week 1 will be a tall order.
Deshaun Watson was one of the best quarterbacks in the league, briefly when the Texans actually were making some noise a few years ago with TJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins, and Co., but after a few years in the shadows, it is revenge tour time. I am a huge fan of his play and really liked him earlier in his career, but we have not seen him play an elite level of football in a while, and I will believe it when I see it now. The defense is more concerning here than the Browns offense in my eyes, but the Bengals are really solidifying as a group, and the offense only gets better every week Burrow is at the helm.
