It's almost time for the Bengals vs. Browns live stream, kicking off the second week of the NFL season... On the channel you don't get. This Thursday Night Football matchup pits two winless (0-1) teams against each other to see who can get the win, as both teams put their first overall NFL draft pick QB against each other.

The Cleveland Browns are the favorites (by 6 points) for this NFL live stream, and while this may not feel like the perfect follow-up to last week's big TNF rematch between the Chiefs and Texans, this game will likely be a provides bragging rights for one team to say they made a good investment in the other.

The over/under is currently a ridiculous 43.5, showing that while Vegas trusts this piggish slinger, it doesn't think much of either team's defense.

And while Mayfield has only seven wins in 30 career starts, three of those wins have come against the Bengals, leading many to believe this is his chance. Odell Beckham Jr. only had three catches for 22 yards in the Week 1 opener against the Ravens, and if Mayfield wants to win, he will need to raise those numbers.

Unfortunately for many, this game is not on a broadcast TV channel, as many TNF games are, nor is it on Amazon Prime.
