Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the Browns vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns have rattled off 3 straight victories, while covering the past 4 outings. Cleveland outlasted the Pittsburgh Steelers by a 13-10 count in Week 11 as 2.5-point favorites as the Under (34) hit, as rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson earned his first NFL victory in his 2nd career start.

The Broncos eked out a 21-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football in Week 11, failing to cover a 2.5-point number as the Under (43) cashed for the 5th consecutive outing. After opening the season 1-5 straight up (SU) and 0-5-1 against the spread (ATS), Denver is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in the past 4 weekends.

Browns at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 23, Browns 18

Moneyline

The BRONCOS (-120) aren't priced out of line if you want to lock them in on the moneyline and not fiddle around with the points.

Denver has won 4 in a row to get back into playoff contention, and it has been solid at home since a rough patch to begin the season. The biggest turnaround has been on the defensive side of the football.

Against the spread

The BRONCOS -1.5 (-110) won't set you back much, and they're a much cheaper play. This is the better option than the moneyline, unless you're dead-set on Denver winning by just a single point.

Denver is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 games, while Cleveland has managed a 4-0 ATS mark in the past 4 outings. The Browns are just 2-2 ATS in 4 games on the road this season, although they are 2-0 ATS as an underdog.

Over/Under

OVER 36.5 (-110) is low number in this day and age of football, and even though we have a couple of teams playing good defense lately, look high.

The Browns have cashed the Under in 2 of the past 3 games, but Cleveland has cashed the Over in all 4 games on the road this season.

The Broncos have hit the Under in 5 straight games during their metamorphosis, but Denver has scored 21 or more points in 3 in a row, while yielding 21.0 PPG in the past 2 games. I'm not saying this will be a track meet, but we should get into the 40's.
