In the latest showdown in the Battle of Ohio, Joe Burrow and the Bengals are gaining traction while the Cleveland Browns’ playoff hopes have plummeted. Jason Logan highlights this match-up in his latest survivor bets.
After a relatively mild Week 6 of the season where favorites dominated with a 12-2 record straight up, NFL Survivor Pool players had a momentary break from the chaos of the first five weeks.
Many entries in Covers’ 10K Pro Football Survivor Contest managed to survive, but Week 7 presents a tougher challenge with dwindling options, bye weeks, and tighter matchups.
Personally, I advanced to Week 7 thanks to the Green Bay Packers’ impressive win over Arizona. Now, I must carefully consider my next pick while keeping future selections in mind.
Facing off against the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals have been a risky pick this season with losses to New England and Washington. However, they have a chance to redeem themselves on the road.
The Browns, on the other hand, are struggling with injuries, trades, and uncertainties at quarterback. Their decision to stick with Deshaun Watson has raised many eyebrows, making them a prime target for survivor pool players to fade.
Despite the Bengals’ 2-4 record, they have shown competitiveness in close games. A win against Cleveland is crucial for them to stay in the AFC race and for my survivor pool chances.
In another key match-up, the Bengals will face the Tennessee Titans with high moneyline odds in their favor. This game presents another opportunity for Burrow and his team to showcase their potential.
As the season progresses, survivor pool players must navigate through tough decisions and unpredictable outcomes. The Battle of Ohio is just one chapter in what promises to be an exciting and challenging journey.
