h1. Browns at Bengals - Thu, Nov 6, 2014

Records:

* Cleveland 5-3
* Cincinnati 5-2-1

Divisional game, could be unpredictable. 

Thus far, the Bengals have underperformed a bit, but they have not lost at home this season. They went 8-0 last year at home during the regular season.

In tonight's game, if Cleveland can keep within one or two scores by halftime, then the Browns will probably make it exciting at the end.

But Cleveland is done playing the worst teams in the league.
