NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Browns vs. Rams
Browns vs. Rams
It’s Week 13 of the 2023 season and Joe Flacco is starting a game. The Browns will go to Flacco with Deshaun Watson out for the year and backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson out for the game. Thankfully for the Browns, Myles Garrett appears to be a go against an offensive line that has only allowed 22 sacks so far this season. The Rams exploded last week for 37 points although it came against a Cardinals defense that is one of the worst in the league, ranking 30th in DVOA. Even with all of the big names on the Rams offense, they’ve only averaged 18.1 points in regulation in games against all other opponents. Cleveland is an elite defense, especially with Garrett in the lineup. On the other side of the ball, Flacco is a pro, but he struggled last year in some spot starts for the Jets. This offense, without Nick Chubb since Week 1, hasn’t been a scoring factory even when a healthy Deshaun Watson was under center. They sit near the bottom of the league in offensive statistics, especially in the passing game where they rank 29th in DVOA. Flacco is unlikely to give them much of a shot in the arm. I’m not so sure the Cleveland offense will be too explosive and I’m not convinced the Rams figured out their offensive woes. This game is shaping up for a prime under spot.
Pick: Under 40.5

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.
