Bengals @ Browns More or Less Contest
Recommended Pick:
Joe Mixon more than 69.5 rushing yards and Kareem Hunt more than 35.5 rushing yards
Mixon has only hit this total in one of his previous four games, but the game could certainly set up for him to get over the total in this one. The Bengals will be without Ja'Marr Chase, which could have them lean a bit more on the ground game.
Mixon has also averaged 17 carries per game this season, which is a sizeable load. Add in the fact that the Browns are allowing the second-most rushing yards to backs over the previous four weeks, and you have a recipe that should lead to success for Mixon.
The Browns will almost certainly come out running the ball with the two-headed monster attack of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt as they have done for most of the season. Hunt has gone over this total in all but his most recent two games and should be able to get back on track in this one. The Bengals have allowed an average of 92 rushing yards per game while also allowing 4.4 yards per carry to running backs over the previous four weeks. If Hunt gets his typical workload of over nine carries, he has a solid shot of eclipsing this mark for the sixth time this season.

Bengals @ Browns More or Less Contest
Recommended Pick:
Donovan Peoples-Jones more than 45.5 receiving yards and Hayden Hurst less than 39.5 receiving yards
I try to avoid Browns' wide receiver props when I can, but this number jumps out here. Jones has averaged nearly seven targets per game over his previous four games while earning over a 20% target share in three of those four games.
He has also eclipsed this total in four straight games while averaging nearly 67 receiving yards per game over that span. The Bengals have been average against the position over the previous four weeks as well as they have allowed an average of over 131 receiving yards per game to wideouts over the previous four weeks.
Most people will likely flock to Hurst in this game with Ja'Marr Chase being out, but those targets are likely to find their way to Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. This is a number that Hurst has hit just three times all season. He will also be up against a Browns defense that has allowed an average of just 46 receiving yards per game to the tight end position over the previous four weeks, which ranks in the top half of the league.
