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 (?)

Texans Jets Point Spread Nfl Week 9

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.
