Cleveland Browns vs. Houston Texans Prediction
I will likely be betting the Texans in this game as well, I love the that the public is all over Cleveland, give me the dog. With that said, I think it would take a blind man to not see point being scored in this game. The over is 8-0 in Cleveland Brown road games this season averaging 51 total points per game.
When these squads met a few weeks ago, the game saw 58 points scored and CJ Stroud, the offensive rookie of the year, was not even under center for the Texans. Stroud will bully a secondary that has struggled and do what he does lighting up the air at home where they have not scored less than 20 points in a home game with him under center.
On the flip side, if Jonathan Greenard is still out the Texans will struggle to give Joe Flacco fits consistently and he should be able to distribute the football. The Browns are rested here and get some guys back in the lineup for this one as well.
Both squads rank inside the top eight for time of possession per play which means you can expect the game to flow and for these teams to have some bounce to whatever they are doing, especially once the offenses get moving.
