Browns vs Falcons Best Bet
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.
