This week's spread suggests an extreme running game script for the Bengals, who are a huge favorite by 10 points.Opposing teams teams have been afraid to lean on the pass against the Cleveland Browns, averaging the 6th-fewest attempts in the league (a measly 32.3 per game) this year.When talking about pocket protection (and the influence it has on all pass attack stats), the O-line of the Cincinnati Bengals grades out as the 4th-worst in the NFL this year.Tee Higgins's talent in grinding out extra yardage have declined this year, compiling just 3.84 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) compared to a 5.52 mark last year.This year, the tough Browns defense has conceded a paltry 60.2% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing wide receivers: the 3rd-lowest rate in the NFL.
