Texans vs Browns preview

Sunday’s Houston-Cleveland matchup has Houston as the -230 moneyline favorite, with Cleveland at +4.5 and the total at 40.5. The total opened at 38.5 and has moved to 40.5, while the spread has held at Cleveland +4.5.

The last meeting, Dec. 24, 2023, went Cleveland’s way as Houston lost 22-36 at home, leaving Houston 0-1 in the last one head-to-head. Houston is 3-5 straight up and 3-5 ATS this season; its last 10 is 5-5 SU and 4-6 ATS, most recently a 44-22 win at the Chargers. Cleveland is 5-4 SU and 6-3 ATS this season, with a 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS mark over its last 10 and a most recent 22-23 loss at New Orleans.

The useful defensive split is through the air: Cleveland allows 220.2 passing yards per game (rank 6) and 19.7 receptions (rank 7), while Houston allows 257 passing yards (rank 28) and 22.3 receptions (rank 22). On the prop side, Andre Szmyt over 1.5 field goals at +100 cleared it in 9 of the last 10, a relevant kicking angle with the total moving from 38.5 to 40.5.
