Betting Trends Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns

Updated:Dec 31, 2025 1:35 AM EST

The upcoming NFL clash on January 4, 2026, between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, OH, promises an exciting Sunday football showdown. The Bengals enter as favorites with a -7.5 point spread and a total points line set at 44.5, broadcasted on CBS, making this a must-watch event for bettors and fans alike.

Joe Burrow leads the Bengals as the starting quarterback, bringing a strong passing game averaging 236.4 yards per game. The Bengals' offensive line provides solid pass protection, crucial against the Browns' aggressive pass rush led by Myles Garrett. Cleveland's quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who has shown resilience despite being questionable at times, will challenge Cincinnati's defense that ranks high in pass defense, allowing just 163.8 yards passing per game. The Browns' run offense, averaging 95.7 yards, faces a Bengals defense that excels in run defense, conceding only 90.6 rushing yards per game.

Recent performances show the Bengals with a mixed record but strong ATS results at home (4-4), while the Browns struggle on the road with a 1-6 ATS record away. The Bengals have won comfortably in recent games, including a 37-14 win over Arizona, indicating strong form. The Browns, meanwhile, have faced challenges but remain competitive, highlighted by a narrow 23-20 loss to the Bills.

Betting trends favor the Bengals, but the Browns' defense and home crowd advantage could keep the game competitive. The last matchup on September 7, 2025, saw the Bengals narrowly win 17-16 at Cleveland, adding intrigue to this rematch. Bettors should consider the point spread and total points carefully, with the underdog Browns covering +7.5 points and the total set at 44.5 points.
