Titans open as sizable favorites over Browns for Week 13

The Tennessee Titans will look to increase their winning streak to three when they take on the Cleveland Browns at Nissan Stadium in Week 13.

Both teams come into this game off a victory, as the Titans pummeled the Indianapolis Colts, 45-26, and the Browns, who are riding a three-game winning streak, narrowly escaped Duval with a 27-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ahead of Sunday’s contest between these two teams, BetMGM has the Titans as fairly sizable 5.5-point favorites over the Browns, with a healthy over/under to go with it.

Spread: Titans -5.5

 Money Line: Titans -239 / Browns +195

Over/Under: 54.5

The last meeting between these two franchises didn’t go so well for the Browns, as they were embarrassed at home by the Titans in Week 1 of last season, 43-13.

A lot has changed since then, though.

The Titans have a different quarterback under center and have become a legit contender, while the Browns have a new coaching staff and an actual reason for hype with an 8-3 record, the same as the Titans’.

Cleveland and Tennessee are jockeying for playoff positioning in the AFC and this game could potentially have seeding implications down the road should the Titans fail to win their division, as the first tiebreaker for wild card teams is head-to-head record.

The Titans currently sit in first place in the AFC South and own the No. 3 seed after beating the Colts on Sunday, and the Browns sit in the No. 5 seed in the conference and in second place in the AFC North.

Kickoff is set for noon CT on Sunday.
