Tee Higgins (CIN) Yes Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+140)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The statistical data suggests that Tee Higgins' performance has been inconsistent, with an overall hit rate of just 17/55, and a current hit streak of zero. However, his performance significantly improves when playing against Cleveland Browns. Higgins has scored a touchdown in 3 of the last 4 games against the Browns, demonstrating a 75% success rate. Furthermore, when playing against the Browns at home, his record is flawless, having scored in the only game he has played against them at home. Despite his recent lackluster performance, his history against the Browns suggests a higher probability of success. Therefore, considering the model edge of 0.085, it might be a reasonable risk to bet on Tee Higgins to score a touchdown in the 'player_anytime_td' market for the Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns game. However, bettors should also consider Higgins' recent form and the strength of the Browns' defense.

Despite Tee Higgins' recent overall and home performance being less than ideal with a hit rate of 0/10 and 0/3 respectively, the player's performance against the Cleveland Browns suggests a potential positive outcome. Higgins has shown strong performance against this team, particularly at home games. His hit rate against Cleveland is 3/4 overall and 1/1 at home. He is also currently on a two-game scoring streak against the Browns, which includes a scoring streak at home. Therefore, the player's historical performance against the Browns, combined with the model edge of 0.057, suggests a higher probability of Higgins scoring a touchdown in the forthcoming game. However, bettors should still tread with caution considering his recent dip in form.

Andrei Iosivas (CIN) Under 14.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The statistical data for Andrei Iosivas strongly suggests that betting on him to have under 14.5 reception yards in the upcoming Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns game is a wise choice. Iosivas' recent performance has been underwhelming, with overall hit rates over the last 3, 5, 10, and 20 games all showing him not reaching the 14.5-yard mark. Specifically, his overall hit rate in his last 20 games is a mere 10% (2/20). Furthermore, his performance at home is not encouraging either, with a hit rate of 20% (4/20) in the last 20 games. Against the Browns, his hit rate is 33% (1/3), which drops to 0% (0/2) when playing at home. Additionally, his current hit streak in all categories is 0, further signifying a slump. The model edge of 5.32% also leans in favor

Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns : Under 45.5 Total Points (-105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 45.5 bet for the upcoming match seems reasonable considering the recent performance data for both teams. The away team has struggled to score, averaging only 14.6 points in their last five games - significantly below the league average. Their poor performance is also reflected in their negative expected points added (EPA) in both passing and rushing. The home team, while more successful in scoring, does not exhibit a high enough scoring average (29.6 points) to compensate for the away team's shortfall, especially given their own defensive vulnerabilities. Additionally, the away team's defensive stats are more robust, which could further hinder the home team's scoring. Lastly, the model edge of over 5% in favor of the under outcome adds confidence to this bet. Overall, the under 45.5 bet draws strength from both teams' low-scoring trends and the away team's solid defense.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns : NA -9.5 Point Spread (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The Cincinnati Bengals have a clear statistical advantage over their opponents based on the recent performance data. The Bengals' home overall score over the last five games is 29.6, significantly higher than the away team's 14.6. The Bengals also have a positive point differential of 7.2, compared to the away team's negative differential of -8.8. In terms of EPA (Expected Points Added), the Bengals have a strong advantage in both offensive and defensive play. Their home overall EPA difference is 9.87, suggesting efficiency in converting plays into points. In contrast, the away team has a negative EPA difference of -11.42. Finally, the Bengals have a better turnover differential and a higher explosive rate for, indicating a more aggressive and successful offensive strategy. In summary, Cincinnati Bengals are favored by -9.5 points in the spread betting market due to their superior offensive and defensive statistics in recent games.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Under 45.5 points for the game between NA and NA is supported by several key statistical factors. Firstly, the away team has been struggling offensively, averaging just 14.6 points in their last five games. They have also been relatively solid defensively, allowing an average of 23.4 points. The home team has been more potent offensively, with an average of 29.6 points, but has also conceded an average of 22.4 points. When looking at the expected points added (EPA), both teams show poor rushing EPA, which could result in a slower, more time-consuming ground game, limiting the overall scoring opportunities. Furthermore, the away team's overall EPA difference is -11.42 suggesting they struggle to convert their play into points. Finally, the turnover rates for both teams suggest a game with potential interruptions, which can also suppress scoring. Given these factors, the Under 45.5 bet is solid.
