The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, and I'm expecting to see plenty of points. The Bengals offense is capable of scoring in a hurry, especially at home. Cleveland hasn't impressed defensively, ranking 20th in the NFL allowing over 391 total yards per game. The last time they traveled to Cincinnati, they lost 41-20.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Browns On The Road - This is just Cleveland's fourth road game, and two of their previous three were high scoring (50+ points). The only exception was a loss to the Jags in Jacksonville.

2. Home Cookin' - The Bengals offense has averaged over 30 points per game in their five home games this season. The return of WR A.J. Green and the emergence of RB Jeremy Hill should help them remain successful tonight against a below average Browns defense.

3. X-Factor - Five of the last six meetings in this series have gone over the total, while the Bengals have seen the total go over in eight of their last 11 home games.

Selection: This is a play on the Browns@Bengals to go OVER the total (8*)
