Browns vs Bengals Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 18: Cleveland's Offense Falls Flat Under Driskel
The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals wrap up their regular season on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. With the Browns locked into the fifth seed in the AFC and the Bengals eliminated from the playoffs, the Week 18 odds will likely showcase a boring affair in this one.
With nothing to gain from a victory, the Browns are expected to rest multiple starters, which has led to the NFL odds for this contest growing from Bengals -4 to -7. Here are my best free NFL picks for Browns vs. Bengals on January 7.

Considering how many injuries the Cleveland Browns have dealt with, it makes sense to rest as many key starters as possible in this spot. This offense had bee…
Monday Night Football “goes to the birds” when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons in the Week 2 finale.
The leaders of those two flocks are under the prime-time lights, with Jalen Hurts at the wheel of a dynamic Philadelphia attack and Kirk Cousins questioned about his health after a dud debut for Atlanta.
I look at the quarterback props for Monday Night Football and give my best Falcons vs. Eagles predictions and NFL picks for this September 16 tilt.
Kirk Cousins odds and props
My best bet: Kirk Cousins Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+148 at FanDuel)
My analysis:I’ll say this is a “best lean” rather than a best bet.
The state of Kirk Co…
There will be no smoke engulfing the doorway of the hotel Lebreros and no crowd of supporters, squashed in and shouting, waiting for the players to walk through them like gladiators into the ring. No fireworks as the bus edges its way through the flares to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, one of the noisiest stadiums in Spain on its noisiest night. There will be no bus at all unless one of the managers decides to park one. There will not be thousands of fans at training or any at the match but at least there will be a match, football returning behind closed doors after 93 days in limbo.
“Playing without fans is as sad as dancing with your sister,” the Spain manager, Luis Enrique, said. Everyone knows that by now but there may be no fixture …
Swedish Olympic champion Sarah Sjostrom is thrilled to be challenging Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the nation s sporting hero after her success at Rio 2016.
Sjostrom, 22, became the first female swimmer from the country to win gold at the Games with her victory in the 100 metre butterfly on Sunday.
Sweden s eyes are generally fixed on Manchester United recruit Ibrahimovic, their all-time leading goalscorer in football.
Sjostrom was happy to be compared to the striker, saying: He is one of a kind.
It is usually always male athletes who get this stuff, the biggest name in sport so it is nice a woman can come up and challenge him.
Sjostrom may yet add to her gold, with the 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle events to come.
Fellow swimmer Simon Sjodin sa…
Dignity and restraint, even in the wake of a scintillating victory or a disastrous loss, are essential during Euro 2008, says Austria s etiquette guru Thomas Schaefer-Elmayer.
The director of the prestigious Elmayer dance school, which prepares dozens of debutantes annually for the traditional Viennese Opera Ball, has laid down ten rules on how to behave during the Euro.
And dress is of course a primary concern, he says, noting that it is no longer necessary for men to wear a tie to the stadium, as was the custom up until the 1960s.
Today, casual attire is enough, he told the daily Die Presse.
But of course, one must come clothed to the stadium, even on hot days. Arriving only in swimming trunks or bare-chested is not appropriate, he said.

Luka Modric has been crowned the Ballon d Or winner for 2018, beating Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann to claim the prize on Monday.
The Croatia midfielder was the star of the show in his country s run to a first ever World Cup final this year, while he played a major role in Real Madrid winning a third consecutive Champions League crown.
Modric s win ends a decade of dominance for Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who had won the Ballon d Or five times each over the past 10 years.
Omnisport takes a look at the Opta numbers for 2018 to see how each of Griezmann, Ronaldo and Modric made it into the top three for the Ballon d Or.

Cedric Soares hopes his big-match experience from the Euro 2016 final will serve him well when Southampton face Manchester United with the EFL Cup trophy on the line.
The two teams meet at Wembley on Sunday as English football s first major honour of the season is decided.
Defender Cedric played as Portugal caused a major shock against France in the final of last year s international tournament and now hopes to experience similar emotions against United.
Playing in the Euro 2016 final was very important for me and my career, he told Southampton s website.
It is a game that I will always remember. These kind of games make you stronger as a player, make you more prepared for matches where the pressure is so high.
It is amazing. To be playing t…
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes if Manchester City are found guilty of breaching the Premier League s financial rules, that it should be reflected in their punishment.
The independent hearing, which started last month, is anticipated to last approximately two months, although the verdict is not expected to be made public until early next year.
If found guilty, the sternest punishment is relegation, while points deductions and fines are also potential penalties.
City have been charged with breaking financial fair play (FFP) rules, with the breaches allegedly going back over a decade.
The Citizens were charged with 54 counts of failing to provide accurate financial information from 2009-10 until 2017-18, while also failing to provide accurat…
Galaxy clinch playoffs berth for first time since 2019, Philadelphia thrashed by Charlotte after Rio
LA Galaxy clinched their first playoff berth since 2019 after Javier Hernandez earned them a late penalty to secure a 1-1 draw away to Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
Douglas Costa converted the 68th-minute penalty won by Hernandez, after Riqui Puig had his 17th-minute spotkick saved by RSL goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
RSL had gone ahead in the 25th minute from Sergio Cordova s header, but were left to lament Justen Glad failing to convert two late golden opportunities from headers, denting their playoff hopes and extending their winless run to five games.
Ex-Manchester United forward Hernandez earned Galaxy s reprieve after review when bundled over by Marcelo Silva inside the box, with Costa sending MacMath the wrong way.
The draw was enough for the Galaxy, who a…
