Bill Speros writes: "Loser gets Ohio State. The Browns are locked into a wild card spot. The Bengals were eliminated from the postseason with their 25-17 loss to the Chiefs in Week 17. Browns QB Joe Flacco has thrown for more than 250 yards in each of his 5 starts and Cleveland has won 4 straight. The Browns have gone over the points total in 8 straight on the road. Look for the Browns to pull away in the second half. And stack some points."
