Browns at Titans: Game notes
- The Browns hit the road facing an AFC South Division opponent for the second consecutive week. They squeaked by the one-win Jacksonville Jaguars by a 27-25 score, failing to cover as 7.5-point favorites in Week 12. The Browns are 3-2 straight up and 1-4 ATS in five road games this season with the Over going 3-1 in their past four road contests.
- Cleveland started the season 3-1 ATS, but it’s just 1-5 ATS across its past six outings with the Under hitting in three of the past four.
- The Browns rank atop the NFL in rushing offense, posting 161.4 yards per game on the ground. RB Nick Chubb is a huge reason for that, turning in 719 yards and 6 touchdowns, including three straight 100-yard rushing performances since returning from injury.
- Titans RB Derrick Henry also has three consecutive 100-yard performances, including 178 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s 45-26 road win against the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans are second in the NFL in rushing yards with 158.2 yards per game.
- The Browns are a dismal 1-10 ATS in their past 11 road games, and 7-24-2 ATS in their past 33 games against teams with a winning record. The Titans are 2-5 ATS across their past seven as favorites.

Browns at Titans: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Titans 34, Browns 20
Money line (?)
The Titans (-264) will cost you more than two and a half times your potential return. The Browns (+220) have eeked by the teams they should beat, but they have struggled against the contenders. While Tennessee ‘should’ win this game, it’s still risky. PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread (?)
The TITANS -6.5 (-106) are an attractive play at a flat seven and under. Cleveland just hasn’t fared very well on the road against AFC contenders. It was dusted 38-6 in Week 1 at the Baltimore Ravens, and the Browns were pounded 38-7 in Week 6 at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Until the Browns start proving themselves in games against good teams, keep fading them.
Over/Under (?)
Over 53.5 (-110) is the lean here, ever so slightly. This one is likely to be decided in the fourth quarter. It’s probably more trouble than it’s worth, and the best bet is to not play the total at all. AVOID.
