Odds watch: Browns open as 4.5-point favorites vs. Giants

The over/under total portends a low-scoring game

It’s not often that the Cleveland Browns are favored on the road in December, but this isn’t the Cleveland teams of old. These Browns are 9-4 and they’re expected to win in New York against the 5-8 Giants on Sunday night.

The Browns are holding as a 4.5-point favorite at BetMGM. That line is consistent across most sportsbooks as well. Based on the over/under figure of just 44.5, the bookmakers at BetMGM expect a low-scoring game.

The straight-up win would break a 35-year drought against the Giants in New York. It would also lift the Browns to a 10-win season for just the second time since 1999.
