Prediction
I’m laying the points here as one of my Best Bets of the week. Bo Nix and the offense are improving each week and we know the defense is very good. The Browns are terrible despite beating Pittsburgh last week. That was their biggest win of the season and I can see a letdown this week against a non-division opponent. The Browns are 1-4 on the road and haven’t scored more than 18 points in any of those games and gave up 35 at New Orleans two weeks ago. I don’t see Cleveland scoring enough points here to gain a cover.
Pick: Broncos -5.5
