The Cleveland Browns (2-0) visit the Atlanta Falcons (0-2) in a Week 3 preseason contest Sunday for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Below, we look at the Browns at Falcons odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
Cleveland is coming off a 17-13 home win over the New York Giants. The Browns — an 11-5 squad last season — have allowed just 26 points over their first two preseason games. Cleveland’s win total jumped by five from 2019-2020. Sunday’s contest marks a key tune-up for a QB Baker Mayfield-WR Odell Beckham Jr. connection and an AFC North team expected to contend for a division crown.
Atlanta stumbled at Miami in Week 2 of the preseason. The Dolphins outgained the Falcons 422 yards to 253, en route to a 37-17 win. Now Atlanta finds itself looking to straighten out some offensive issues (20 points in two games) against a strong Cleveland defense. The Falcons will also be looking to counter some momentum swinging the other way in their games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium: Atlanta went just 2-6 at home last year.
