Week 16 NFL picks for Browns vs. Bengals
Before tuning into Sunday's Bengals vs. Browns game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 27-11 betting hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 207-139 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 61-32 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone following at sportsbooks and on betting apps has seen strong returns.
For Bengals vs. Browns, the model is backing Cincinnati to cover the spread. The Bengals are 15-6-0 against the spread in their last 21 games against the Browns and 7-3-0 ATS versus the Browns in Cincinnati. Each of the Bengals' wins this season has been by at least seven points, including their victory in Cleveland earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, the Browns are 4-10-0 ATS in 2024 and have failed to cover in three straight. Cleveland's continued struggles are a big reason why the model has Cincinnati covering the spread in nearly 60% of simulations. You may be able to stream the game here.
