About Last Night
Joe Burrow and the Bengals lose again
Cincinnati’s Week 1 performance seemed like an outlier, but the Bengals followed it up with another loss in Week 2 to the Ravens. Joe Burrow has reportedly reaggravated his calf injury which isn’t good news for Bengals fans. Around the league, the Giants erased a 21-point deficit to beat the Cardinals 31-28, the Commanders held on to beat the Broncos 35-33 and the Bills dominated the Raiders 38-10 in Buffalo.

Best Bet of the Day
NFL: Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers Under 39 (-110)
8:15 pm ET
There remain more questions for the offenses of these teams to answer than the defenses, and a relatively low-scoring battle looks likely in Monday’s AFC North duel between the Browns and Steelers. Both teams played in Week 1 games that saw one of the sides fail to post a double-digit score, and both those contests failed to reach even the modest game total set for this matchup. The Browns allowed only 3 points to a high-powered Bengals offense, with Ja’Marr Chase limited to 39 receiving yards and Tee Higgins failing to catch a single ball despite being targeted 8 times. With two solid defensive lines taking the field in this contest and Myles Garrett and TJ Watt hunting quarterbacks, the under looks a great bet. Read our full Browns vs Steelers predictions.
