Browns vs. Raiders Pick
Spread Pick and Prediction for Browns vs. Raiders
- Raiders -3.5 (4 units)
Both teams are going nowhere fast this season as they are in the basement of their respective divisions. Cleveland is going to turn to Sanders for his first career start with Gabriel still in the concussion protocol. He was less than stellar in his NFL debut, and while facing the Raiders is a softer landing than the Ravens, the fact remains that the Browns are a weak offensive unit. Las Vegas is at home, and they do have a veteran quarterback in Smith. Neither team is great offensively, and while the Browns are tough defensively, they are 0-5 on the road this season, both straight up and against the spread. Hold your nose and take the Raiders here.
Over/Under Pick for Browns vs. Raiders
- Under 36.5 (4 units)
These are two of the four worst-scoring offenses in the league entering week 12 with the Browns 29th and the Raiders 30th in that category. Cleveland has seen the over post a 6-4 mark in their 10 games this season. On the road, the Browns have gone over the mark in three of their five games, though they have scored more than 17 points just once. Las Vegas has seen the under go 6-4 in their 10 games on the season. The Raiders have scored 20 points or fewer in five of their last six games. Neither offense is good and with Sanders potentially starting at quarterback, you have to downgrade Cleveland’s offense. Take the under as 17 points may well be enough to win this rock fight.
