Bengals vs. Browns odds keep changing with Joe Burrow, others out

The odds involving the Cincinnati Bengals‘ clash with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to end the regular season just keep moving. Cincinnati, after all, just revealed Joe Burrow won’t play in the game.

Those Bengals, AFC North title and playoff berth in hand, travel to Cleveland for the season-ending bout. That game, per Tipico Sportsbook, has positioned the Bengals as 6.5-point underdogs, whereas the team had previously been favored.

Those Browns won’t have starting quarterback Baker Mayfield but will be looking for the season sweep of the Bengals after getting a win in Cincinnati back in Week 9.

While Cincinnati has swept AFC North foes Baltimore and Pittsburgh this season, the Browns continue to give them problems. Making the outlook muddier from a would-be bettor’s perspective is the shred of doubt as to how long the Bengals will play the rest of their starters, if at all. The team has placed some big names on the reserve/COVID-19 list in recent days, including Joe Mixon.

Even so, looking specifically at a Brandon Allen vs. Case Keenum matchup at quarterback, it’s safe to presume the Bengals can at least cover the spread, if not win.
