Browns at Falcons odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Browns 23, Falcons 16
Money line
The Browns (-250) have looked sharp this preseason, while the Falcons (+200) have been abysmal. However, it’s still the preseason, and you cannot risk two and a half times on a road team even in the regular season, let alone for a game which doesn’t count.
AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
The BROWNS -5.5 (-108) are worth a play on the road against the Falcons +5.5 (-112), who haven’t been able to get out of their own way so far this preseason. The Falcons defense has allowed 30.0 PPG in two games to date, and that’s the difference here.
Over/Under
OVER 35.5 (-115) is the play, as the Falcons defense has been terrible. The Browns offense should use a good share of starters, and that will help get Over bettors off to a quick start.
