Looking to retain at least a share of first place in the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns (4-2) travel to Nashville on Sunday to take on the Titans (1-5). The Browns have won four of their last five games and are tied atop the AFC North, while the Titans reside in the AFC South basement but won their first game of the season last weekend.
Cleveland’s surprising start has been built on a stingy defense that ranks among the league’s best, allowing just 20.3 points per game and recording 19 sacks in six games. Tennessee has been working on offense. They scored 26 points last week, but that defied the stats. In the win, Tennessee ran just 45 plays compared to 78 for Indianapolis.
Cleveland is coming off one of its biggest wins of the season, a 13-10 victory over the Ravens last Sunday. Baltimore averaged 30 points per game through their first five games, but stifled last weekend gaining just 13 first downs and gaining just 235 yards. It was another example of the formula that has carried Cleveland this season: strong defensive play and enough quarterback production to close out games. As mentioned earlier, Tennessee finally got in the win column with a 26-20 road win over Indianapolis last weekend. The Titans defense came up with some key stops late in the game.
The main story centers on whether Tennessee’s new momentum is sustainable or whether Cleveland’s defense will control the game. The Browns have advantages in record, experience and defensive production, especially up front where their pass rush ranks second in the NFL with 19 sacks. Tennessee counters with a defense that has remained quietly competitive despite the team’s record and features veterans capable of disrupting Cleveland’s offense.
Honestly, neither of these teams can be trusted and so this game could result in turnovers and late field positions.
Let’s dive into the numbers and see if we can’t find an extra sweat or two.

Please bet responsibly. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700.
Our model calculates predictions around every money line, spread and over/under for every game on the NFL calendar based on data points such as past performance, player matchups, betting trends and weather forecasts.
After the model finishes running, we place its projection next to the latest betting lines for the game to arrive at a relative confidence level for each bet.
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for Sunday’s game between the Browns and Titans:
- Money line: NBC Sports is staying away from a Moneyline game.
- SPREAD: NBC Sports is staying away from a show on the Spread.
- in total: NBC Sports is recommending a game at Game Total UNDER 37.5.
Here’s why Total Games UNDER 37.5 is the best bet:
The UNDER is a matchup game between two bottom five offenses and two top 10 defenses. Cleveland ranks 29th in offensive DVOA and 32nd in third-down conversion percentage, while Tennessee ranks 28th in offensive DVOA and 32nd in field goal percentage. The total is bet from 38.5 to 37.5, and the sharp money drops to 50.88% on the Under. The only thing working against the Under is head-to-head history – the last three meetings have averaged a combined 55.3 points. But that’s a small sample from a diverse list, and this year’s game, with two broken offenses and two quality defenses, is decided very differently. It’s going to be a sweat, but it’s a smart game.
