Cleveland Browns - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Cleveland Browns are hoping to get back in the win column after falling 17-10 to the New Orleans Saints. Cleveland lost the game, even though they entered the game as a -3.5 point favorite. Together, the two teams combined score remained below the over-under betting line of 32. In the game, Cleveland trailed the Saints by a score of 17-10 heading into the 4th quarter. Through 15 games, the Browns have an ATS record of 7-7-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-7-1. This week's betting total of 40.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Browns prepare to take on Washington, they are ranked 14th in points per game at 21.5. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 12th-ranked defense, which could cause problems for Cleveland. Even though the Browns have a good matchup in the passing game, as the Commanders are ranked 20th in passer rating allowed, we don't anticipate the team being able to take advantage. On the ground, the Browns should be in line for a good performance, as they are the league's 5th-ranked rush yards per game.
Washington Commanders - NFL Betting Analysis
In week 16, the Washington Commanders dropped their NFC matchup against the 49ers by a score of 37-20. Washington lost the game by more than anticipated, as the oddsmakers placed them as 6.5 point underdogs. Going into the game, the over-under total was set at 37 points, which the teams surpassed. The Commanders were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed San Francisco by a score of 21-14 heading into the final quarter. Through 15 games, the Commanders have an ATS record of 7-7-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-10. This week's betting total of 40.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Commanders prepare to take on Cleveland, they are ranked 24th in points per game at 19.0. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Browns defense giving up 22.9 points per game. Look for the Commanders to finish the game with a below-average performance in the passing game as they are just 19th in pass yards per game and are facing the 8th-ranked secondary in terms of yards allowed. On the ground, Washington is averaging 123.7 yards per contest and have a good matchup vs a struggling rush defense.
