Browns vs. Lions Predictions for NFL Week 4, Sunday 9/28

Two of the biggest wins in Week 3 came by way of the Browns shocking the Packers as touchdown-plus favorites and the Lions taking down the Ravens in prime time on Monday Night Football.

Now these two teams have their once-every-four-years matchup, so first and foremost, any Browns vs. Lions predictions should focus more on the present rather than previous meetings. While both teams are coming off wins, it’s clear that they’re not viewed in the same light, as Detroit is still a massive favorite, north of a touchdown.

That said, Cleveland earned some respect in the eyes of the books, as the Browns vs. Lions odds prior to their Week 3 upset had Detroit favored by double digits. While we expect the home team to get the victory, we need to find more value to help with your Browns vs. Lions picks.
 

 

 

Browns vs. Lions Best Bet: Jared Goff Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-114 at FanDuel)

Detroit was able to wear down the Ravens on MNF with multiple drives spanning nearly the entire field. Baltimore’s defensive line was already undermanned, missing great players Kyle Van Noy and Nnamdi Madubuike, and frankly, the guys they did have looked gassed by the second quarter due to a lack of rotation.

The entire nation saw that, and that includes the Browns. You can bet that they are as motivated as ever, seeing the Lions beat up their AFC North rival, and would love nothing more than to do what the Ravens couldn’t. After all, Cleveland’s defensive line is arguably the best in the entire NFL.

We expect the Browns to be far superior against the run than Baltimore - the Ravens allowed FOUR rushing TDs, but Cleveland’s third-best run stuff win rate should be able to handle Detroit’s 22nd-ranked run block win rate.

In our eyes, that means that more responsibility should be on the shoulders of Jared Goff, who only needed to throw for 202 yards on MNF while the team still scored 38 points. Speaking of which, Detroit’s 90 points over the last two weeks are the most we’ve seen for the franchise since 1962!

Regardless, we see Cleveland’ defensive line and defense in general keeping them in this game until the Lions pull away late, leading to Jared Goff over 1.5 passing TDs (-114 at FanDuel) as the best bet from our Browns vs. Lions predictions. He had FIVE in Week 2 and closed out last season with 2+ in five of six games.
