Browns vs Falcons Prediction & Pick

It's hard not to back Cleveland given the advantageous matchup it draws on the ground. The Browns are averaging a stellar 190.7 rushing yards per game (No. 1 in NFL) and a reliable 5.0 yards per carry (No. 6 in NFL). The Falcons rank among the bottom 10 NFL teams in rush defense DVOA rating.

Keep in mind this is one head-to-head series Cleveland has dominated in the past as well. The Falcons are 0-5 in its last five home games against the Browns and haven't beaten them since 2010. Look for running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to be the difference-makers in a Browns win.

Final Score Prediction: Browns: 28 | Falcons: 24

Anyone looking to back the Browns on the spread should hop on it before it goes from 2.5 to 3 points. That leaves room for error in situations like overtime or late-game scores. It's a smart bet to make considering the Browns are 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last five games against the Falcons.

Cleveland is also 7-0 ATS in its last seven games against a NFC South opponent and Atlanta is 0-8 ATS in its last eight games against an AFC North opponent. The Falcons just don't have the defensive personnel to keep the Browns off the scoreboard here. They'll put up a fight, but it won't be enough.

Bet: Cleveland Browns -1.5 (-105)
