The Browns were locked into the AFC’s No. 5 seed before their visit to Cincinnati in Week 18. So, they rested plenty of key starters and lost 31-14 as 7-point road underdogs — the Over (36.5) easily hit. Prior to the defeat, Cleveland had won and covered 4 in a row, including a 36-22 victory at Houston in Week 16 as a 3-point favorite — the Over (40) cashed there, too.
The Texans punched their 1st playoff ticket since 2019 with a 23-19 win at Indianapolis Saturday. Houston was a 1-point favorite and the O/U line was 47. It was the 2nd consecutive win for the Texans following the loss to the Browns. In the 2 victories, Houston averaged 24.5 points per game (PPG) and allowed just 11.0 PPG as the Under cashed in both outings.
