Spread: Browns -1.5 | Total: 44.5
Cleveland Browns
For the second straight season, the Browns’ franchise quarterback has been outplayed by a veteran.
Unlike Jacoby Brissett last season, though, Joe Flacco has gotten Cleveland into the playoffs. The Browns entered Week 18’s matchup against the Bengals having won four of the five games that Flacco started, including four straight.
The Browns offense has come together with Flacco under center, but it’s been the defense that has led the way all season, ranking near the top of DVOA throughout the campaign. That unit is led by Myles Garrett, who’s the favorite to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award.
Cleveland entered Week 18 at 11-5 against the spread and 9-6-1 to the over. Of note, Browns road games started the regular season 7-0 to the over.

Houston Texans
Few saw the Houston Texans coming this season, but here they are, heading toward Wild Card Weekend.
The Texans hit home runs during the offseason by hiring DeMeco Ryans as head coach and then drafting C.J. Stroud. They checked two major boxes that had been question marks in recent years. Also, drafting Will Anderson third overall was the cherry on top.
The Texans finished the regular season 9-8 against the spread this season and surprisingly just 6-11 to the over.
