NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bears vs. Browns
Bears vs. Browns
The Cleveland Browns are three games ahead of .500 with Joe Flacco under center. Not only did the Browns sign Flacco off the couch, but they’ve just signed him to a full one-year deal to remain the quarterback for the Browns this season. But while the offense has had success recently, the defense has lost a lot of players to injury. Grant Delpt was the last one to get injured. The Browns still have a solid pass rush and a secondary that plays well. However, Cleveland has never been dominant against the run. That’s where the Browns come in. The Bears have won three of their last four games and have run very well in most of them. Chicago’s win over the Lions last week was its best win of the season. The defense has held the Lions and Vikings to 23 points in the last eight quarters, and the offense is moving the ball well. That said, I’ll back the Bears at +3 on the road. Chicago’s playing great football right now.
Pick: Bears +3 (-110)

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
