The odds are stacked against the Cleveland Browns to pick up win No. 3 in Week 8 when the team visits Foxboro to play the New England Patriots.
The Browns are decided underdogs coming out of the bye week. At BetMGM, Cleveland opens as a 12.5-point dog. After seeing the Patriots remain unbeaten by shutting out the New York Jets 33-0 on Monday night, the sportsbooks are confident in the defending Super Bowl champs. Tom Brady and the offense had zero problems against former Browns coach Gregg Williams and his Jets defense, and the New England defense also scored a safety and forced six turnovers.
Expect some volatility with the line. The Patriots were listed as 11-point favorites on some other books in early (before Monday night’s win) betting.
