Browns open as rare double-digit favorites vs. Dolphins in Week 12

It’s just the 3rd time since 1999 the Browns are favored by 10 or more

Winners of two in a row, the Cleveland Browns are riding high. And with the lowly Miami Dolphins coming to town in Week 12, the professional bookmakers believe the Browns will keep the win streak rolling.

The Browns opened as 10.5-point favorites over the Dolphins at BetMGM. That’s the largest point spread currently on the board for Week 12. Cleveland is 4-6 but has won two games in a row. Miami is 2-8 after getting blown out by the New York Jets in Week 11.

This game marks just the third time the Browns have been favored by 10 or more points in the 21st century.

In Week 16 last season, the Browns were 10-point favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals. Cleveland won 26-18 but failed to cover the spread. The only other instance was in 2007, when Romeo Crennel’s Browns beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-7 in Week 17 as 11.5-point favorites at home.
