Browns vs Lions Predictions and Picks
Cleveland currently ranks 16th in passing yards, 29th in running yards, 30th in points scored, and tied for 18th in points allowed. The Browns' defense is improving, and this will be the fourth game in a row against a strong offensive squad. They were able to slow down the Packers and Bengals, but gave up 41 points to the Ravens, whom the Lions simply stayed up with and won. Myles Garrett will be responsible for putting pressure on Goff, and the running game will need to be effective.
Detroit ranks eighth in passing yards, fourth in running yards, tied for second in points scored, and ranked 23rd in points allowed. The Lions' offense is this team's strength, and Jared Goff's accuracy has been excellent. They improved their running game significantly last week, but it will be put to the test against the Browns' top-ranked rushing defense. Fortunately, Detroit has a deep receiving corps, and its aggressive style of play will serve it well in those important moments.
Best Bet: Lions Spread
Even though the Browns recently stunned the Packers with a low-scoring victory, they will struggle to match the Lions' offensive production. Cleveland needed the entire game to get the offense going against Green Bay, and they can't do that against Detroit. The Lions plan to score throughout the game and dominate the tempo.
