IN THIS ISSUE
MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM: Can Joe win the race without Chase?
EXPERT PICKS: Jay and Ryan think the Bengals will earn their stripes
POWER HOUR: A Free Bet drop for a Same Game Parlay!
KEY FACTS: Joe Burrow is coming off a monster game (481 passing yards) but trouble may lurk on Halloween with top wideout Ja’Marr Chase (hip) on the shelf. Close losses have haunted the Browns, who have not won since Week 3 despite Nick Chubb’s 105.7 rushing yards per game.
TRENDING: Cincinnati has covered seven of the last eight in Cleveland. And the Over is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings.
INSIGHT: Our cauldron is overflowing with Bengals money (80% of the handle).
EXPERT PICKS
NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher and PointsBet studio host Ryan Leaf are not 'dog people tonight. They are cat people, assuming Bengals qualify.
THE BOOK
Bengals -3 over Browns (-115)
"Ja'Marr Chase's absence is overstated given Cincinnati's depth of receivers."
Joe Mixon Over 65.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
"Cleveland has a bottom-5 rush defense, and Cincinnati will look to run the ball more with Chase out."
THE BIG NAME
Bengals ML over Browns (-170)
"Tyler Boyd will step up in place of Chase."
Tyler Boyd Over 60.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
"He'll get a lot more targets with Chase out, and Cleveland's defense yields over 7 yards per pass attempt."

Kyle Schwarber ⬆️ 0.5 RBIs (+175): Schwarbs feasted on right-handers during the regular season (.900 OPS), and he has come oh-so-close to hitting dingers in the Series.
Kyle Tucker ⬆️ 0.5 HR (+375): He’s hot (71% hard hit rate in first two games), he can lift the ball in Philly’s small ballpark and he will get at least one crack at Noah Syndergaard for a lefty-righty matchup.
Jose Altuve ⬆️ 0.5 Stolen Bases (+475): “Thor” can’t hold runners, so if Houston’s leadoff man gets on …
Tennessee (+8.5) @ Georgia (3:30 p.m. ET Sat): An SEC duel that will garner the eyes of the nation. Top-ranked Georgia projected to be a double-digit fave until the No. 2 Vols schooled Kentucky, intercepting Will Levis three times.
Rams (+3) @ Buccaneers (4:25 p.m. ET Sun): The last two Super Bowl winners are a combined 6-9. Not nice.
