Ravens at Browns: Game notes

  • The Browns were curb-stomped in Week 1 against the Ravens in Baltimore, falling 38-6 as 7-point underdogs as the Under (47) connected. Cleveland has posted a 9-2 straight up and 5-6 ATS mark in its 11 games since.
  • The past three games in Cleveland have each had weather issues, with wintry mix conditions in Week 8 and Week 10, and a steady shield of cold rain in Week 11 holding scores down. Precipitation won’t be an issue on Monday night, but temperatures will be around 30 degrees with a northwest wind off of Lake Erie blowing 20-30 mph which will likely affect the passing game for both sides.
  • With a strong, cold wind we are likely to see a mostly ground-based attack for both sides. The Browns rank second in the NFL with 157.8 rushing yards per game, and they’re eighth against the run with 104.3 yards per game allowed. The Ravens are No. 1 in the league with 169.0 rushing yards per game, and they yield just 111.6 yards per game on the ground to rank 13th in the league.
  • The Under is 8-2 in Baltimore’s past 10 against AFC foes, and 6-2 in the previous eight on the road. In addition, the Under is 4-1 in their past five road games against a team with a winning overall mark.
  • The Under is 10-4 in Cleveland’s past 14 as an underdog while cashing in six of their past eight against teams with a winning record. The Under is also 3-1-1 in Cleveland’s last five appearances on MNF. In addition, the Under is 6-2 in the past eight in this series, including the first installment this season in Week 1.

Ravens at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 23, Browns 19

Money line (?)

The RAVENS (-170) aren’t a bad play at this price point. While the Browns (+135) are a totally different team this season, guaranteed of a winning record for once, they haven’t fared very well against the top teams in the AFC North.

They have lost their two games against the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers this season by a combined score of 76-13. Unfortunately, until they start beating the good teams on a regular basis, there is always doubt about their legitimacy.

Against the spread (?)

The RAVENS -3.5 (-105) will likely keep it on the ground for a majority of the night with those icy winds blowing off of Lake Erie. That’s just fine for the league’s No. 1 rushing team.

They ran roughshod over the Dallas Cowboys last week in a 34-17 win, piling up 294 yards, including 94 from QB Lamar Jackson, who has no problem tucking it and booking.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 45.5 (-110) is the best play on the board here. The winds will be gusting, the passes and the kicking game will be affected, and we should see a mostly ground-based attack. Running the ball means running the clock, and that’s good news for Under bettors.

Browns at Titans: Game notes

  • The Browns hit the road facing an AFC South Division opponent for the second consecutive week. They squeaked by the one-win Jacksonville Jaguars by a 27-25 score, failing to cover as 7.5-point favorites in Week 12. The Browns are 3-2 straight up and 1-4 ATS in five road games this season with the Over going 3-1 in their past four road contests.
  • Cleveland started the season 3-1 ATS, but it’s just 1-5 ATS across its past six outings with the Under hitting in three of the past four.
  • The Browns rank atop the NFL in rushing offense, posting 161.4 yards per game on the ground. RB Nick Chubb is a huge reason for that, turning in 719 yards and 6 touchdowns, including three straight 100-yard rushing performances since returning from injury.
  • Titans RB Derrick Henry also has three consecutive 100-yard performances, including 178 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s 45-26 road win against the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans are second in the NFL in rushing yards with 158.2 yards per game.
  • The Browns are a dismal 1-10 ATS in their past 11 road games, and 7-24-2 ATS in their past 33 games against teams with a winning record. The Titans are 2-5 ATS across their past seven as favorites.

  • DL Jeffery Simmons (knee) questionable
  • TE Jonnu Smith (knee) out

Browns at Titans: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Titans 34, Browns 20

Money line (?)

The Titans (-264) will cost you more than two and a half times your potential return. The Browns (+220) have eeked by the teams they should beat, but they have struggled against the contenders. While Tennessee ‘should’ win this game, it’s still risky. PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (?)

The TITANS -6.5 (-106) are an attractive play at a flat seven and under. Cleveland just hasn’t fared very well on the road against AFC contenders. It was dusted 38-6 in Week 1 at the Baltimore Ravens, and the Browns were pounded 38-7 in Week 6 at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Until the Browns start proving themselves in games against good teams, keep fading them.

Over/Under (?)

Over 53.5 (-110) is the lean here, ever so slightly. This one is likely to be decided in the fourth quarter. It’s probably more trouble than it’s worth, and the best bet is to not play the total at all. AVOID.

Browns at Jaguars: Game notes

  • For a second road game in a row, the Browns are favored. They failed to cover a 4.5-point number at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, although they came away with a 37-34 win. Cleveland is 1-0 ATS as a favorite of a touchdown or more, winning 34-20 against the Washington Football Team in Week 3 and covering the 7.5-point number.
  • These teams haven’t met since Nov. 19, 2017, with the Jaguars posting a 19-7 road victory at the Browns as 7.5-point road favorites and the Under (37) easily connecting.
  • The Browns rank No. 3 in the NFL with 156.8 rushing yards per game, while posting 23.8 points per outing to rank 19th. Defensively they are eighth with 105.0 YPG allowed on the ground, and 19th with 26.1 PPG allowed.
  • The Browns posted a 22-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in rainy Cleveland last week, while the Jaguars were smoked 27-3 on their home field against the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. Jacksonville is 2-1 ATS across the past three as an underdog of seven or more points.
  • Jacksonville ranks 29th in the NFL with just 20.2 PPG, while also ranking 29th defensively with 29.8 PPG allowed. It is also 31st in the NFL with 411.3 total YPG allowed.

Jaguars

  • WR Chris Conley (hip) out
  • CB Sidney Jones IV (ankle) out
  • QB Gardner Minshew II (thumb) questionable
  • RB Dare Ogunbowale (hand) questionable

Browns at Jaguars: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Browns 27, Jaguars 16

Money line (?)

The Browns (-334) “should” be able to win this game rather handily, as the Jaguars (+265) have their top two receivers sidelined, one of the best cover men on the shelf and QB Mike Glennon making his first NFL start in three years. Still, putting up more than three times your potential return on a road team, particularly the Browns, is high-risk betting behavior. PASS.

Against the spread (?)

The BROWNS -7 (-110) is a better play on the spread with the Jaguars decimated by injuries at the skill positions. Cleveland will be able to mash Jacksonville in the run game, and QB Baker Mayfield might actually see some open looks down the field, too.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 49.5 (-110) is a risky play anytime you’re dealing with the Jaguars, who have been more than giving this season. The Browns have hit the Under in four of the past five with weather being a big reason since the past three have been at home in poor conditions. However, Cleveland’s offense has struggled overall, and even against a banged-up Jacksonville, it might have some issues.

On the flip side, Glennon makes his first start in three years for the Jaguars, and he will be without the team’s top two receivers. It’s unlikely Jacksonville has much flash on offense.

Eagles at Browns: Game notes

  • The Eagles are coming off a disappointing 27-17 loss on the road against the New York Giants, but even at 3-5-1 they’re in first place in the awful NFC East Division. The Eagles are 0-2-1 SU/1-2 ATS in three previous games against the AFC North this season.
  • Philadelphia’s offense has struggled mightily, averaging just 331.8 total yards (27th in the NFL), 209.0 passing yards (27th) and 22.6 points scored (24th) per game. The only area which isn’t in the bottom third of the league is the run game, as the Eagles have managed 122.8 yards per game to rank 10th.
  • The past two Browns home games have featured wintry-mix conditions and some light drizzle and rain, as well as plenty of wind. Sunday’s weather forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-40’s, so we won’t see the wintry weather, but there is a 90 percent chance of a steady rain with 10-15 mph winds.
  • The Cleveland offense has posted just 16 total points, and one touchdown in the past two home games, mainly due to the inclement weather. The Browns are also in the midst of an 0-4 ATS slide.
  • Browns RB Nick Chubb appeared to be headed for the end zone in the final minute vs. Houston last week, which would have given Cleveland side bettors a cover. But he gave himself up before reaching the end zone, stepping out at the 1-yard line, so his team could kneel on the ball and run out the clock, rather than turn it over to the Texans.

Eagles at Browns: Key injuries

Eagles

  • S Rudy Ford (hamstring) out
  • OT Lane Johnson (neck) questionable

Browns

  • OT Jack Conklin (Reserve/COVID-19) questionable
  • DE Myles Garrett (Reserve/COVID-19) out
  • LS Charley Hughlett (Reserve/COVID-19) questionable
  • PK Cody Parkey (Reserve/COVID-19) questionable
  • OG Wyatt Teller (calf) questionable
  • LB Mack Wilson (hip) questionable

Eagles at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Browns 20, Eagles 13

Money line (?)

The BROWNS (-167) are a reasonable play on the money line. They have had a power outage on offense lately, so it would be nice just pulling for them to win straight up rather than have to cover, although I expect that as well.

Against the spread (?)

The BROWNS -3 (-110) “should” be able to scoot past an Eagles side which is just 3-6 ATS overall. Yes, the Browns are 0-4 ATS in the past four, but they probably should have covered last week. The weather is, again, a bit of a concern, as is the fact they’re missing Defensive Player of the Year candidate Garrett. In addition, long snapper Hughlett and his backup LB Wilson are both questionable, so that could be a major concern. Still, the way the Eagles are going, the Browns should ease by the visitors in their own building.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 47.5 (-115) is the bet you need to make. Cleveland’s offense has been in a funk lately, mostly due to the weather, and it won’t be a Chamber of Commerce day on Sunday, either. A steady shield of rain will be over the Northeast Ohio area during the game, the Browns are dealing with some COVID issues and a lack of practice, and the Eagles just aren’t very good offensively, either. This should be a slam-dunk Under play.

Texans at Browns: Game notes

  • The Texans returned from a bye and narrowly escaped another disappointing loss, edging the Jaguars 27-25 last Sunday as seven-point favorites at home. Offense hasn’t been the problem, as Houston is averaging 27.2 PPG across the past five outings, 3.1 PPG more than its season average.
  • Texans QB Deshaun Watson has accumulated 2,376 passing yards through eight games, and Houston has managed 280.8 yards per game through the air to rank sixth in the NFL. They brought over RB David Johnson to bolster the run game, but they are 31st in the league with just 87.6 yards per game on the ground.
  • The last time we saw the Browns was Nov. 1, a 16-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders during an occasional wintry mix with windy conditions on the shores of Lake Erie. The Browns are just 1-2 SU/0-3 ATS across the past three outings, and they’re just 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven coming off a bye week.
  • Former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel is now the interim head coach for the Texans, and RB Duke Johnson, a former Browns backfield member, is expected to make a start.
  • The Texans have won just twice in eight games overall, and they have covered just once, a 30-14 win in Houston as 6.5-point favorites back in Week 5.

Texans at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Texans 30, Browns 27

Money line (?)

The TEXANS (+170) have a few things going in their favor despite the disparity in the standings. Crennel will have his troops fired up against a team he used to coach, and Duke Johnson will be running with a purpose when he gets his chance, as he requested a trade from the Browns after being behind RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt on the depth chart. He is going to want to show the team what they could have had. Plus, this is just the type of team the Browns (-200) have overlooked over the years, and Cleveland cannot afford to take anybody lightly. Houston is a good value here.

Against the spread (?)

If you’re not feeling the TEXANS +4 (-110) on the money line, at least take them with the points. Yes, they have covered just once in eight tries, and their defense has been a sieve. But the Browns are 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven after a bye, and just 2-5 ATS in the past seven as a favorite. Plus, Cleveland ranks 24th against the pass, yielding 264.6 yards per game through the air, and that’s what Houston does best.

Over/Under (?)

OVER 45.5 (-110) is a good bet. The Browns yielding 29.6 PPG, and the Texans cough up 30.3 PPG, both well in the bottom third of the league. This one has the potential to be quite a shootout.
