Browns at Falcons picks and predictions
Prediction
Falcons 30, Browns 27
Moneyline
The FALCONS (+102) are a solid play at home as short ‘dogs. QB Marcus Mariota will likely be getting a much better sleep Saturday, knowing that on Sunday he doesn’t have to wake up and see Garrett. His partner at DE, Clowney, could also be out.
With a decreased pass rush, Mariota and the Falcons will be able to have time to move the ball downfield, and it might need to do so more if Swiss Army Knife RB Patterson is sidelined.
Against the spread
FALCONS +1.5 (-110) is a strong play if you’re not quite feeling them straight up. Of course, the only way this makes sense is if you have a strong feeling the Browns -1.5 (-110) are going to win by 1 or 2 points. Playing Atlanta on the money line is more of a value.
Over/Under
OVER 47.5 (-108) is the best play on the board. These 2 are the only teams playing each other in Week 4 with 3 straight Over results to start the season. In fact, besides these 2 teams, only the Detroit Lions have cashed the Over in all 3 games so far this season.
