Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos

Total: 46.5

DEN -2.5

Gameplay Predictions

  • Baker Mayfield has thrown a touchdown in 10 straight games after not throwing one in his first professional game.

  • Mayfield has only thrown for 300 yards in a game once this season.

  • Nick Chubb has a rushing touchdown in five straight games and has one in six of seven games.

  • Chubb has also been more involved in the passing game catching three passes or more in four consecutive contests.

  • Jarvis Landry has just one game in which he’s eclipsed 60 receiving yards over his last six.

  • In three of his last four games, David Njoku has less than 35 yards receiving.

  • Case Keenum has thrown for less than 200 yards in three straight games.

  • Keenum has thrown two touchdowns or less in 12 straight contests. Week 1 was the only time this year he’s thrown three.

  • Philip Lindsay has scored six touchdowns over his last four weeks and has two 100-plus yard rushing performances over his last three.

  • Lindsay ranks fourth in rushing yards this season.

  • The Broncos have only one active wide out with more than 200 yards and that’s Courtland Sutton .

Pregame Props

1) The last non-kneeling, offensive play of the 1st Quarter is a passing play (we’ll leave this open until the 2:00 mark) YES 2.6 / NO 2.4

NO. Both teams are middle of the pack in passing attempts and in rushing attempts as well. It’s hard to predict, but both teams have very solid running games and I suspect that’s what dominates this game early and often.

2) The first offensive play of the game gains 7 or more yards YES 3.2 / NO 2.0

NO. That’s a big chunk on the first play of the game. Going with the safe option in no.

3) Both teams score a TD in the 1st Quarter YES 4.2 / NO 1.9

NO. The 42.5 point game total is very low and wouldn’t make sense if they both scored every quarter, especially the first.

4) B.Mayfield(CLE) or C.Keenum(DEN) complete a pass of 41 yards or more in the 1st Quarter YES 5.0 / NO 1.5

NO. It’s been a four question string of no’s. That’s a tall task. Going safe here.

5) N. Chubb(CLE) records at least 10 total rushing yards on the CLE opening drive YES 2.9 / NO 2.2

YES. Chubb is a monster and has been rolling lately. Expecting a HUGE game against a Broncos defense that’s allowed the seventh most passing yards in football.

6) DEN passes for a 1st down on their opening drive YES 2.3 / NO 3.4

NO. Like I mentioned above, Keenum hasn’t thrown more than two touchdowns in a game since Week 1. It’s unlikely here.
