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.
