With a 5.5-point advantage, the Bengals are favored in this game, implying more of a reliance on rushing than their typical approach.Windy weather conditions (like the 12-mph being projected in this game) usually mean decreased passing effectiveness, lower air attack volume, and increased ground volume.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 33.1 pass attempts per game vs. the Browns defense this year: 6th-fewest in the NFL.Tyler Boyd has been a more important option in his team's offense this year, staying in the game for 79.7% of snaps compared to just 63.1% last year.After totaling 47.0 air yards per game last season, Tyler Boyd has seen a big downtick this season, now sitting at 42.0 per game.
