It’s an AFC North rivalry matchup in prime time for Halloween.
The Bengals stumbled out of the gate but now have back-to-back wins. On the other hand, the Browns are struggling immensely with a four-game losing streak, and both sides of the ball have not had great performances recently.
Let’s look at some guys who are going to play a part in this Monday Night matchup.

Nick Chubb Anytime Scorer (-120)
There’s no secret that the Browns will try and move the ball on the ground and they run the ninth-highest run-play percentage. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have been a great backfield in Cleveland over the last few years. When it comes to the red zone, they use Chubb’s brute force up the gut, as he takes 61.5% of carries inside the five. If they’re on the cusp of scoring, they’re giving it to Chubb.
Tee Higgins Anytime Scorer (-110)
With Ja’Marr Chase out with a hip injury, Tee Higgins should have a more prominent role. Higgins is still having an excellent season with five or more catches in his last five games with 14.7 yards per catch, but look for reception numbers to bump up against a struggling Cleveland secondary.
Kareem Hunt Anytime Scorer (+240)
As we said, the Browns are going to run the ball. Hunt is both an asset as a runner and a pass catcher. When the Browns are just inside the red zone, you’ll see Hunt in the game, and if they get within five, you’ll see Chubb. If the trade rumors are true, Hunt could be on the move this week, but what better way to show him off than getting him in the end zone?
Hayden Hurst Anytime Scorer (+250)
As mentioned, Burrow needs receivers to step up with Chase on the sideline. The Bengals brought in Hayden Hurst, and the tight end has two touchdowns on the year. He does get his number called in the red zone and leads the team with a 71.4% target share inside the 20 and 50% inside the ten.
