Cleveland Browns Odds

Cleveland Browns Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

After making the playoffs for the first time in a long time in 2020, the Browns are up to two consecutive below-.500 seasons. That being said, there are reasons to be optimistic entering the 2023 season.

It all starts with Deshaun Watson. The controversial quarterback missed a majority of last season due to suspension. He played in just six games overall and looked rusty, which was to be expected given the last time he played in a regular season game was in 2020 with the Texans. If the Browns are going to be good, he’ll probably be one of the key reasons why …

As will running back Nick Chubb – he’s a beast, that’s all that really needs to be said here.

Over the offseason, the Browns’ biggest moves were the acquisitions of DT Dalvin Tomlinson via free agency, DE Za’Darius Smith via trade with the Vikings and WR Elijah Moore via trade with the Jets.

The Browns open their season at home against the rival Bengals on Sept. 10.

Betting on the Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Ravens +2.5 (+110)
• Browns -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Ravens are 2.5-point underdogs against the Browns. If Cleveland wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Browns would come with a payout of $90.91. If Baltimore won the game outright or lost by two points or fewer, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Browns Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Steelers play the Browns and the over/under is set at 58 points. A wager on the over would require Pittsburgh and Cleveland to score 59 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 57 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 58 points scored.

Browns Moneylines

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Browns -130
• Bengals +240

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Cleveland the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Browns odds would mean every $13 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Bengals moneyline was set at +240, meaning a $10 wager would profit $24.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Browns moneyline and -2.5 point spread, Cleveland would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Take advantage of new bettor offers like the BetMGM Bonus, and use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Cleveland Browns Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Deshaun Watson 2023 regular season passing yards: 3,525.5

Basically you are betting on whether Watson goes over or under this number during the regular season.

Cleveland Browns Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way that both are monitored over the course of a season. Except most future bets are focused on end of season success. Examples of futures are:

• Cleveland Browns odds to win the AFC North
• Cleveland Browns odds to win the AFC
• Cleveland Browns odds to win the Super Bowl
• Myles Garrett’s odds to win Defensive Player of the Year
