Chiefs at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 25, Browns 19

Moneyline

The Chiefs (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk.

Kansas City just locked up the AFC West Division last week, so might there be a bit of a hangover this week? Might the hunger not be there? The Chiefs are still vying for the No. 1 overall seed, so that talk might be a bit overrated.

PASS.

Against the spread

It’s tough to back the CHIEFS -4 (-110), as they’re 0-7 ATS in the previous 7 outings. Kansas City is on the road, and playing a Browns +4 (-110) team which has sprung a couple of upsets at Huntington Bank Field against the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The fact Njoku carries a questionable tag for Cleveland is what makes the Browns so risky. He has been a security blanket for QB Jameis Winston, who will already be without emerging WR Cedric Tillman. The Chiefs have the talent to make up for certain losses, but the Browns do not.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-115) is worth a look, but don’t get carried away.

The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games, with the Browns offense going for 23.3 PPG in the past 3 games, while allowing 24 or more points in 5 of the past 6 outings.

The Over has cashed in 3 in a row on the road for the Chiefs, averaging 26.5 PPG in the past 4 away games. The Chiefs have allowed 28.5 PPG in the past 2 road outings, too.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (3-9) meet the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) meet Sunday at Acrisure Stadium for a Week 14 matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Browns vs. Steelers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns upended the Steelers 24-19 in Week 12 on Thursday Night Football as the Over (37) cashed at a snowy Huntington Bank Field on the shores of Lake Erie. Cleveland also covered a 3.5-point underdog.

The Browns followed that up with a 41-32 loss on Monday night in Week 13 at Denver. Cleveland lost despite QB Jameis Winston throwing for 497 yards, and WR Jerry Jeudy returning to the Mile High City to post a career-high 235 receiving yards with a TD. Of course, Winston also had a pair of pick-sixes, too.

The Steelers bounced back from the loss with a high-scoring 44-38 win at Cincinnati as a 3-point underdog. Pittsburgh piled up 520 total yards, including 414 passing yards from QB Russell Wilson, while forcing 2 fumbles with a plus-1 turnover differential.

Pittsburgh is 6-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, with the lone loss coming in Cleveland. On the flip side, the Browns are 1-3 SU/ATS in the past 4 outings, with the only cover coming against the Steelers. The Over has cashed in 3 straight games.

Browns at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 29, Browns 18

Moneyline

The Steelers (-300) will set you back 3 times your potential return. That’s way too expensive, especially considering it has been just 16 days since the Browns (+240) topped Pittsburgh outright.

PASS.

Against the spread

The STEELERS -7 (-105) are worth a look in Sunday’s rematch. The weather conditions won’t be the same as they were in Cleveland, as temperatures will be mild with temperatures in the upper 40’s and just breezy conditions.

However, Pittsburgh will flip the script simply because it is at home. It is 4-1 SU/ATS in 5 games at Acrisure Stadium, including wins and covers in the past 3 at home, including an 18-16 victory and cover against the Baltimore Ravens in the most recent home game in Week 11.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-115) is a strong play.

First off, the Over cashed in Week 12 in the first meeting between the Steelers and Browns. The Over has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games for Pittsburgh, including 2-1 in the past 3 home contests.

For the Browns, Cleveland has hit the Over in 3 in a row, averaging 28.0 PPG in the past 2 outings. It has also allowed 31.7 PPG in the past 3 contests, as the defense has been rather giving.

Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (3-8) meet the Denver Broncos (7-5) meet for Monday Night Football in Week 13. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Browns vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns picked up a 24-19 victory in the snow on Thursday Night Football in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite being a 3.5-point underdog at home. The Over (37) cashed, and the total has gone high in 3 of the past 4 games.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy travels to Denver to meet his former team for the first time since an offseason trade. He is on pace to record career highs in receptions (69) and receiving yards (997) this season, according to broncoswire.usatoday.com.

For the Broncos, they’ve won and covered 2 in a row since a heartbreaking loss in Kansas City in Week 10. Denver has covered in 3 in a row, while going 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games. They’re 9-3 ATS on the season.

Browns at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 26, Browns 18

Moneyline

The Broncos (-275) will set you back nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward on this Monday Night battle in the Mile High City.

PASS.

Against the spread

The BRONCOS -6 (-110) are a solid play in this prime-time game Monday.

Denver has dominated this series, winning 25 of the 32 meetings all-time, including 13-2 in the past 15 meetings since 1991. However, these teams have split 2-2 SU and ATS in the past 4 meetings, so be careful.

Over/Under

OVER 42 (-110) is the lean on Monday night in the Mile Hile City, but be very cautious and go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over is 2-1 in the past 3 meetings in this series, while going 4-2 in the previous 6 battles. The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 at elevation in Denver, too.

For the Broncos, the Over has cashed in 6 of the past 8, while the total has hit high in 3 of the past 4 outings for the Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2) meet the Cleveland Browns (2-8) in Week 12 for Thursday Night Football at Huntington Bank Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Steelers vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Steelers head into Cleveland on a high after topping the Baltimore Ravens 18-16 in Week 11 in an AFC North showdown, taking first place in the process. Pittsburgh has won and covered 5 consecutive outings. The Under (48.5) cashed last time out, halting a 4-game Over stretch.

The Browns were pounded 35-14 as a 1-point favorite last weekend on the road against the New Orleans Saints, while the Over (44) connected. Cleveland has lost 7 of the past 8 games, while going 2-6 ATS in the span. The Under has cashed in 6 of the previous 9 outings.

The Browns are 1-1 SU and ATS in 2 divisional games, while splitting the total, too. The Steelers played their first game inside the AFC North last weekend in the win over the Ravens.

Steelers at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 23, Browns 15

Moneyline

The Steelers (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for a standalone bet, especially for a road team.

While Cleveland showed it can be dangerous, topping the Baltimore Ravens in Cleveland in Week 8 as a 7-point underdog, the Browns (+165) cannot be trusted, however, as they’re 2-8 in 10 games. PASS.

Against the spread

The STEELERS -3.5 (-110) are a strong play laying the 3 and a hook in this Thursday night battle on the shores of Lake Erie.

Surprisingly, the Browns +3.5 (-110) have won the past 2 meetings at home, and 3 of the previous 4 meetings. However, Cleveland is just 3-7 ATS in the past 10 meetings since 2019, and it is basically near rock-bottom in that 5-year span.

Over/Under

OVER 36.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series, and Pittsburgh has gone high in 4 of the past 5 games since Week 6.

However, Cleveland has scored 18 or fewer points in 9 of 10 games this season. The Browns are averaging just 16.2 PPG, while going for only 88.5 rushing yards per game, and only 291.3 total yards per contest, so be careful.

Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (2-7) and the New Orleans Saints (3-7) meet Sunday for a Week 11 game at Caesars Superdome. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Browns vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns suffered a 27-10 loss at home against the L.A. Chargers in Week 9 before the bye week. It splashed cold water on the team’s momentum after a shocking 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 as a 7-point underdog in the first start by QB Jameis Winston.

Winston returns to New Orleans, where he spent 4 seasons from 2020-23, playing in 21 games. His finest season as a Saint came in 2021 when he threw for 1,170 yards, 14 touchdowns and 3 interceptions with a career-best 102.8 QB Rating.

The Browns are 1-3 straight up (SU) and 2-2 against the spread (ATS) in 4 road games this season, while going 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in 4 games against NFC opponents. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games, and 6-2 in the previous 8 outings.

The Saints halted a 7-game losing streak with a 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons last weekend as a 3.5-point underdog as the Under (47) cashed.

New Orleans is winless in 3 tries against AFC foes in 2024, while going 0-3 ATS. At home, the Saints are 1-3 SU/ATS in the past 4 tries, while the Over is 3-2 in 5 games at Caesars Superdome this season.

Browns at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 22, Browns 19

Moneyline

SAINTS (-104) are worth a look as short ‘dogs at home.

While the Browns (-112) are rested and healthy, coming off a bye in Week 10, this is a team which was spanked the last time we saw them against the Chargers at home.

New Orleans heads into this game with a little momentum after finding a way to get the job done against Atlanta last weekend.

Against the spread

Backing Saints +1.5 (-120) makes absolutely no sense unless you’re totally convinced that the Browns -1.5 (-102) will win, but only by a single point.

If you like New Orleans, AVOID, and simply bet the Saints straight up on the moneyline for a much better value.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-112) might be the best play on the board in this Week 11 offering.

The Cleveland offense has scored 18 or fewer points in all but one of its games to date. On the road, Cleveland is averaging just 15.7 PPG, while the Under is 3-1 in those 4 outings.

For New Orleans, the offense has managed just 15.0 PPG in the past 4 games, while the defense has allowed 26 or fewer points in 3 in a row.

LA Chargers at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s LA Chargers at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Chargers (4-3) meet the Cleveland Browns (2-6) on Sunday for a Week 9 matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Chargers vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers picked up a 26-8 win last week against the New Orleans Saints, covering as a 7.5-point favorite as the Under (41.5) connected. On the road, Los Angeles is just 1-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the past 3 games, while the Under is 2-1 in those outings. The total has gone low at a 6-1 clip for the Bolts on the season.

The Browns surprised the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8, winning 29-24 as a 7-point underdog as the Over (45) cashed. QB Jameis Winston started for the injured QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles), and he ended up becoming the first Cleveland QB this season with more than 300 yards passing.

The 29 points in Week 8 was easily the best offensive production of the season, as the Browns had 18 or fewer points in the previous 7 contests.

Chargers at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 23, Browns 19

Moneyline

The Chargers (-125) are a little more expensive than just playing the visitors and laying the little bit of points. If you like the road team, look to the spread instead.

PASS.

Against the spread

The CHARGERS -1.5 (-110) are much better play, unless you strongly believe L.A. will win, but only by a single point.

The biggest news for the Browns +1.5 (-110) is that Owusu-Koramoah is sidelined, and headed for injured reserve. He is the heart and soul of the defense, and a tackle machine. Owusu-Koramoah makes his presence felt with plenty of solo tackles, quarterback hits and occasional passes defensed.

Winston did well against a giving Ravens pass defense, but the Browns won’t have nearly enough room to operate against a stifling Bolts D.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

The Under has ruled the day for the Chargers, going 6-1 this season. They’ve allowed 17 or fewer points in each of the past 4 outings, and 6 of 7 games to date.

On the 3 games on the road, the Bolts have allowed just 12.0 PPG, while managing 19.0 PPG in the previous 2 outings away from home.

For the Browns, while they broke out with 29 points in Week 8, this is an offense which had 18 or fewer points in each of the first 7 weekends.

Alex’s best bet: LA Chargers at Cleveland Browns prediction

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White likes a side in the LA Chargers-Cleveland Browns Week 9 NFL matchup.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Alex White’s NFL Week 9 best bet involves the LA Chargers (4-3) at the Cleveland Browns (2-6), who face off Sunday. Kickoff from Huntington Bank Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS).

The Chargers are coming off an impressive 26-8 victory as 7.5-point home favorites vs. the New Orleans Saints. The Chargers have alternated wins and losses over their last 4 games, are 2-2 against the spread (ATS) in that same span and are 4-3 ATS overall.

The Browns might be coming off a more impressive win, prevailing 29-24 as 7-point home underdogs vs. the Baltimore Ravens. That snapped a 5-game losing streak for Cleveland, which is 2-2 ATS in its last 4 and 3-5 ATS overall.

For this Week 9 matchup, the Chargers are favored by 1.5 points, according to BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds as of Saturday at 7:26 p.m. ET.

Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Baltimore Ravens (5-2) meet the Cleveland Browns (1-6) meet for a Week 8 game at Huntington Bank Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Ravens vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Ravens have picked up 5 consecutive victories, as the offense has been an unstoppable force lately. Baltimore has picked up 28 or more points in 5 in a row, while going for 41 points in 2 of the past 3 contests. That includes a 41-31 victory on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, covering a 4-point number as the Over (51) cashed.

Baltimore has QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry playing together at an extremely high level right now, and everything else is falling into place.

For the Browns, things are falling apart. QB Deshaun Watson suffered a torn Achilles on a non-contact injury last week, and some cheers came from the fans, which weren’t exactly appreciated by the players. It’s ugly in Cleveland, as expectations haven’t been close to being met.

QB Jameis Winston takes the reins of the offense in his first start. It’s hard to imagine the Browns offense being worse than it has been, as Cleveland has 18 or fewer points in every game this season.

Ravens at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 37, Browns 16

Moneyline

The Ravens (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s extremely risky in the NFL, especially for a road team.

While the Browns (+350) have been dismal in nearly every aspect of the game, in the NFL, you just never know, even when using a QB3 under center.

PASS.

Against the spread

The RAVENS -8.5 (-110) might have a tough time getting started on the road against a Browns +8.5 (-110) defense which is a proud unit. But, Jackson, Henry and the Baltimore offense will eventually grind Cleveland down to a nub, and the Browns don’t have nearly the same kind of weapons to compete.

Cleveland has scored 18 or fewer points in every game so far this season, and while it’s great RB Nick Chubb was able to return last week, he looked far from 100 percent.

Over/Under

OVER 45.5 (-110) is a risky play with the Browns, as, again, they’ve scored 18 or fewer points in every game to date.

However, the Ravens are driving this Over train, as the Ravens have scored 28 or more points in 5 in a row, while going Over in 6 of 7 games on the season.

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) meet the Cleveland Browns (1-5) for a Week 7 game at Huntington Bank Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bengals vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bengals picked up a 17-7 road win against the New York Giants, but they’ve alternated covers and non-covers in each of the 1st 6 games this season. The Under (46.5) cashed last week, but the total has gone high in 4 of the past 5 outings.

The Browns have been terrible, scoring 18 or fewer points in all 6 games this season. Cleveland also traded WR Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills this week, so QB Deshaun Watson and the pass game have 1 fewer playmaker.

The good news for Cleveland is that RB Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to make his season debut. He hasn’t played since Week 2 last season in Pittsburgh due to a gruesome knee injury.

Cincinnati leads the all-time series 53-48, but it has dropped 6 straight trips to Cleveland dating back to Oct. 1, 2017. In fact, Bengals QB Joe Burrow has never won in Cleveland, going 0-3 as a starter. The last time the Bengals won in Cleveland, Burrow was still a sophomore at Ohio State, prior to his transfer to LSU.

Bengals at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Browns 18, Bengals 16

Moneyline

It’s uncertain why, but Burrow hasn’t been able to get the job done in Cleveland. We’ll roll with the BROWNS (+200) for the opportunity to double up.

The pick really hinges on Chubb making his season debut, though. Circle back around 90 minutes prior to kickoff and make sure the veteran is active. The Bengals rank 27th in the NFL with 146.0 rushing yards per game allowed, so Chubb returning would be a giant shot in the arm for the Cleveland offense.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less adventurous or feel Burrow will finally exorcise his Cleveland demons, BROWNS +5.5 (-105) is still a healthy amount of points.

Yes, Cooper is now gone, but to be honest, he wasn’t contributing a ton to the offense. Watson has struggled getting all of his receivers the ball, and it’s the defense that is driving this pick, as well as Chubb potentially getting loose against a shaky Bengals -5.5 (-115) rush defense in his season debut.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-110) is always worth a play when the Browns are involved.

Cleveland’s offense has cobbled together 18 or fewer points in all 6 games to date. The Under is 3-1-1 in the past 5 meetings in this series, too, while going 2-0-1 in the past 3 battles in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (1-4) meet the Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) for a Week 6 game at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Browns vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns suffered a 34-13 loss against the Washington Commanders last week, and they’re 0-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in 3 tries against NFC East teams already this season. Cleveland is 1-4 ATS this season, with the Under going 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Cleveland’s offense has managed 18 or fewer points in all 5 games this season, ranking last in total yards per game (239.4), while ranking 30th in the NFL in passing yards (142.8) and points scored (15.8) per game.

The Eagles are coming off a bye. Philadelphia suffered a 33-16 loss at Tampa Bay in Week 4 prior to the rest, a game which it played without WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith due to injuries. Both are back, and Philadelphia has no one listed on the injury report this week.

Browns at Eagles picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 32, Browns 16

Moneyline

The Eagles (-450) are rested and raring to go after a bye. They limped into the rest week with a ton of injuries, and they were a shell of themselves in Tampa in Week 4.

Not only do they get Brown and Smith back at wideout, but OT Lane Johnson is a big player returning, as well.

However, you cannot risk 4½ times your potential return on a standalone wager or even as part of a multi-team parlay, unless that ticket includes at least 7 or 8 plays.

PASS.

Against the spread

The EAGLES -8.5 (-110) are finally back healthy, and they should get off to a quick start against the Browns +8.5 (-110).

Cleveland’s offense has been toothless, and it might only be a matter of time until a major change is considered, either at quarterback or perhaps in the coaching ranks. This team has managed 18 or fewer points in all 5 games, so if Philadelphia gets into the 20s, the Browns have shown no signs of being able to keep up in a game like that.

Over/Under

OVER 42.5 (-110) is worth a look, although Over plays and Cleveland are risky business.

The Over is 2-2 for Philadelphia this season, but it hasn’t scored more than 21 points since Week 1, when it hung 34 points on the Packers down in Brazil. The defense has allowed 22 or more points, so if the Browns were ever going to come alive and at least look like a semifunctional NFL offense, this week is it.
