It will be the Cleveland Browns taking part in that one, and while they finished the season on a high note, it was something of a strange path to the playoffs for them, with the outcome never really feeling like it was guaranteed until they actually clinched their spot. The question now is whether they can continue to roll and head deep into the postseason. That is what we are going to take a look at here. We will recap how they got to this point, look at some important stats and trends, and talk about their NFL odds and chances, so let’s dive right in.

Cleveland Browns vs Houston Texans Odds

Regular Season Recap

The Browns came into the season with their biggest question mark at the QB position. The move to land DeShaun Watson was controversial, and it was beginning to look as though it might all blow up in their face. A 2-2 start to the season and a struggling offense did little to change that outlook.

A big win over the 49ers seemed to wake the Browns up, though, spurring a run that saw them win 5 of their next 6 games. It all came to an end with back-to-back losses, with the doubters once again suggesting that the Browns might be toast, especially with Watson going out with a season-ending injury.

They brough in veteran QB, Joe Flacco, who impressed in a loss to the Rams, but who got better with each passing game, leading his team to 4 straight wins and a playoff berth. He was rested for the final game of the season, which ended with a loss to the Bengals.

Stats, Trends, and Odds

Prior to the arrival of Flacco, the Browns relied heavily on their D to get wins, but that has changed over the past month or so. Flacco and the offense have put up big numbers, with the defense relaxing a little, to the point where both the offense and defense are now somewhere in the middle of the pack.

As the #5 seed, the Browns are going to need to head out on the road, which is certainly not the best way to go when you consider that they were 3-5 away from home this season. They went 1-1 on the road with Flacco under center, with one of those wins coming against the Houston Texans, the team that they will be facing this weekend.

As far as the odds go, the Browns are +1400 to win the AFC and head to the Super Bowl, so there is not a lot of belief that they can do it. As good as Flacco has been, he has tossed 8 INT in the 5 games that he has played, which will need to improve if Cleveland is to go on a deep run.

As far as winning the Super Bowl goes, the odds are not really in their favor either, as they are currently sitting at +3300. A win in the Wild Card game does not seem out of the question, but a Lombardi Trophy feels like a longshot.
