Cleveland Browns NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

The Cleveland Browns absorbed another disappointing defeat this past Sunday after dropping an uncompetitive 27-14 decision to the hated Pittsburgh Steelers just two weeks removed from taking Mike Tomlin’s squad down in front of the “Dawg Pound” under the mystical, wintry Thursday night lights. While the rematch proved to be competitive early on and the Browns actually outgained the Steelers 300-267, special teams gaffes paired with the Jameis Winston experience ultimately propelled Kevin Stefanski’s troops to their tenth loss of the NFL betting season. NFL bettors will never know how the match would’ve ultimately played out had Dustin Hopkins done his job and Winston not thrown two more backbreaking interceptions costing his squad a point spread cover at the very least. As it is, the Browns will bring up the rear of the AFC North standings as predicted by linemakers from the online sportsbook at the outset of the season. Because of it, the franchise finds itself in the running for a top-10 draft pick winners of just three games through 13 tries. NFL bettors haven’t shown much interest in backing the home dogs in Week 15 betting action when it welcomes the reigning Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs into Huntington Bank Field for the first time since the 2018 campaign.

Eliminated from postseason play, Cleveland’s odds to win Super Bowl LIX, the AFC, and AFC North have all been taken off the board. The only betting options that remain are the team’s adjusted season win total and its odds of tallying the fewest wins come the regular season’s conclusion. The Browns adjusted in-season win total remained 4.5 but with exorbitant vig now attached to the low side of the impost. In terms of tallying the No. 1 pick in next year’s NFL Draft, Cleveland chimes in at 12-1 behind the likes  of the Patriots (+850), Raiders (+280), and Giants (-140).

Cleveland Browns Week 15 Matchup

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the Cleveland Browns will take on the Kansas City Chiefs from Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, OH. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The lookahead NFL Week 15 betting lines opened with the Browns installed 5.5-point underdogs and the total set at 45.5. With the Browns being backed with 45+ percent of the written tickets and booked handle paired with the Chiefs recent form on the road (0-3 ATS L/3), linemakers have been remiss to move the NFL spread off the opener. Pretty surprising considering NFL crypto bettors have seen Cleveland go 2-4 both straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in front of the hometown faithful. That said, it’s 2-2 SU and ATS the four times it took back points from the opposition. The total has split through the six played games with an average of just 42.3 points scored. With that, it hardly comes off as a shock to see total bettors flocking to the under in droves for this one with the number to beat down to 44 with 85+ percent of the bets and 90+ percent of the money in support of the line move.

Cleveland Browns Week 14 Recap

The Cleveland Browns fell to 3-10 SU and 4-9 against the closing NFL spread after a mistake-filled 27-14 loss and to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, marking their 18th season with double-digit losses since their 1999 return. Cleveland struggled to capitalize on opportunities, hampered by two interceptions from Jameis Winston and two costly missed field goals by Dustin Hopkins. Winston completed 24 of 41 passes for 211 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions but failed to build on an early 7-0 lead after a 35-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy. Nick Chubb, in his return to Pittsburgh after a serious knee injury, was held to 48 rushing yards, while the Browns' offense faltered in critical moments. Myles Garrett, who dominated the Steelers in their last matchup, was kept quiet in recording a single sack and limited hurries. Defensively, Cleveland allowed a key momentum shift when Winston’s screen pass was intercepted by Steelers lineman Keeanu Benton, setting up a touchdown. The Browns' special teams woes continued as Hopkins missed field goals from 38 and 43 yards when the game was still competitive. Cleveland also failed to convert on fourth down in the second half, sealing their fate. With this loss, the Browns remain in the AFC North cellar, plagued by turnovers and inconsistency in all phases of the game.
