Bengals vs. Browns Odds, Prediction

The following are the odds for Bengals vs. Browns, according to DraftKings. This game will take place on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 1 p.m. ET.

Bengals Odds-2.5 (-110)
Browns Odds-2.5 (-110)
Over/Under46
Odds according to DraftKings.

The Battle of Ohio is set to be one of the most exciting games on the NFL's Week 1 slate.

The Cincinnati Bengals enter the 2023 season with high expectations. Two years removed from the Super Bowl, it feels like it's time for Joe Burrow to prove he is an MVP candidate.

On the flip side, Deshaun Watson is expected to play a full season under center for the Cleveland Browns for the first time.

Action Network's predictive analytics team has developed a fair value spread and moneyline for every game this regular season.

For Bengals vs. Browns, DraftKings was the first sportsbook to release a spread and total for the Week 1 clash. The Bengals opened as a 2.5-point favorite.

Using our predictive analytics, the spread was expected to be Bengals -1, which gives the Browns a slight edge against the spread.

DraftKings also posted the moneyline for the game. The Bengals are -130 favorites while the Browns are +110.

Using our predictive analytics, the Bengals would be a -115 favorite while the Browns would be a +115 underdog. That means no one has an edge on the moneyline after including the vig.

Our data team has projected this total at 45.6. With DraftKings posting the total at 46, there is a very slight edge to the under. But our analytics team was pretty spot on with the number.

The algorithms consider all associated quantitative and qualitative metrics heading into the season.
