How many games will the Cleveland Browns win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Cleveland Browns’ 2019 season
The Browns entered the season with high expectations. They were considered a sleeper pick for the Super Bowl after adding WR Odell Beckham Jr. – WR Jarvis Landry was acquired the offseason before, in 2018.
However, their defense struggled, first-time head coach Freddie Kitchens was in over his head – he was fired after the season – and QB Baker Mayfield regressed after a promising rookie campaign. They finished 6-10 straight up, losing their final three games, and ended up third in the NFC North Division.
As for gambling trends, they were 5-10-1 against the spread with an 8-8 Over/Under record.
Cleveland Browns’ 2020 offseason changes
The Browns have made big offensive additions. They signed OT Jack Conklin and drafted OT Jedrick Wills Jr. (Alabama) in the first round to protect Mayfield. They signed TE Austin Hooper and re-signed RB Kareem Hunt. On defense, they signed FS Andrew Sendejo and SS Karl Joseph.
They replaced Kitchens with Kevin Stefanski, who will be a head coach for the first time in his career. They also hired San Francisco 49ers DB coach Joe Woods to be their defensive coordinator.
However, they lost LBs Joe Schobert and Christian Kirksey in free agency.

Cleveland Browns’ 2020 win total: Best bet
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Monday, May 4 at 7:30 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 8.5 / OVER: -105 / UNDER: -115
The Browns are even more talented than last season when they were expected to be a playoff team. With a first-year coach for the second consecutive season, they play in a traditionally tough division, but have many winnable games on their schedule. With better protection for Mayfield and more weapons, the Browns should be in the mix for a playoff spot. Though the 8.5 wins leave little room for error, this Browns team appears to be able to win between 9-11 games. Take the OVER 8.5 (-105).
