Cleveland Browns NFL Week 4 Betting Lines
The Cleveland Browns took the frustration of losing to the Steelers and Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury out completely on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 NFL betting to log the dominant 27-3 win and cover as laughable 3.5-point favorites in a game that wasn’t as close as the 24 point final margin of victory indicates. The defense was relentless while the offense showed promise after Deshaun Watson put forth his best showing as a member of the franchise. It will now set its sights on claiming the outright lead atop the AFC North standings in Week 4 when it lock horns with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the first of two regular season skirmishes. At near full strength, Baltimore was considered the favorite to win this game at the online sportsbook. While Cleveland has already dealt with its fair share of integral injuries, the Ravens are marching a skeleton crew onto the gridiron right now. Because of it, the Browns have received a healthy load of attention from the NFL betting market in early wagering.

Cleveland Browns Week 4 Matchup
On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the Cleveland Browns will host the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, OH. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The betting line for this divisional showdown saw Cleveland hit the board as 1.5-point underdogs and the total set at 44. With Baltimore losing in overtime and being forced to deal with a laundry list of injuries, the Browns are now full field goal favorites to come out on top of this pivotal AFC North clash against the NFL betting lines. This rivalry has been pretty darn close over the last five seasons with the Browns coming out victorious four times and splitting the ten games against the spread. It’s however come out on top each of the last two times it welcomed Baltimore into Cleveland Browns Stadium (1-1 ATS) with the O/U splitting and an average of 31.0 points scored. Total bettors expect points to be held to a premium with the total down three full points to 41. Injuries notwithstanding, the Ravens are likely to have their hands full dealing with the Browns pass rush regardless with Garrett and Co. averaging 3.0 sacks per game and Baltimore serving up four sacks to the Colts last week with their starting center and strong tackle roaming the sideline. Should neither be able to give this one a go, Cleveland would own a major advantage they’ll no doubt look to parlay into their third win of the football betting season.
Cleveland Browns Week 3 Recap
A week removed from losing a game it only conceded 255 yards and one touchdown in yet still lost, the Browns defense flexed its muscles in what proved to be one of the bigger one-sided matchups of the Week 3 slate. Myles Garrett and Co. took no prisoners en route to holding the Tennessee Titans to 94 yards of total offense and 2.1 yards per play. To add insult to injury, it allowed a grand total of six first downs, held the Titz to a 2 of 12 showing on third down, thwarted both red zone penetrations and accrued five sacks with Garrett accounting for 3.5 of them. But it wasn’t just the defense that showed up with Deshaun Watson looking like his old self in gouging Tennessee’s run funnel defense for 289 yards and a perfect 2-0 TD/INT ratio resulting in a 123.4 QB rating – his highest in years! Jerome Ford stepped in admirably for Nick Chubb combining for 51 scrimmage yards and a couple of scores, while Amare Cooper busted out for his fantasy and player prop supporters with 116 yards and a touchdown. He would’ve had a pair of scores if not for an early whistle! Armed with a top-12 offense and No. 2 ranked defensive DVOA, the Browns look to have a team at hand that can compete for a championship. Now +195 co-favorites to win the North and offering up a 22-1 return on investment to hoist the Lombardi, there’s still meat on the bone for futures odds bettors to get involved!
Cleveland Browns Schedule & Results
The Cleveland Browns are one of the legacy franchises of the NFL. Yet the Browns have a complex history that is part of that DNA. The original Browns were founded by the late great Paul Brown in the All-America Football Conference. Cleveland won all four of its championships in the AAFC before merging into the NFL. In their first NFL season, the Browns won the championship. Subsequently, Cleveland played in the NFL championship game for the next five years, winning the final two times.
By the early 1960s, the club grew stale under Paul Brown. And in 1962, Brown was fired by new owner Art Modell. After winning the 1964 NFL championship, the Browns were a perennial contender for most of the next three decades. However, they never made the Super Bowl after the 1966 AFL-NFL merger.
In 1995, Modell moved the original Browns to Baltimore to become the Ravens. The second iteration of the Browns was born in 1999 as an expansion team. Cleveland has a passionate fan base and has been plagued by incompetent ownership and consistent losing. Since their return to the NFL, the Browns have only two playoff appearances.
