Because of the Deshaun Watson trade the Browns didn’t have a lot of draft capital this offseason. Still, they believe that a full season of Watson is better than anyone they could have drafted in the first round.
Even with a light draft, it has been a busy offseason, especially at wide receiver. They signed Marquise Goodwin, traded for Elijah Moore, and drafted Cedric Tillman in the third round. They also added two big bodies to go in the middle of the defensive line in free agent Dalvin Tomlinson and third-round draft pick Siaki Ika.
Let’s see if Cleveland Browns have what it takes to back the betting lines to win the Super Bowl.
Cleveland Browns 2023 Season Betting Analysis | MyBookie NFL Betting Preview
Cleveland Browns | 71st season as a member of the National Football League
Owner: Jimmy Haslam
Head coach: Kevin Stefanski
Home field: Cleveland Browns Stadium | Cleveland, Ohio
Super Bowl Champions (+4000)
The Browns are one of 12 NFL teams to never win a Super Bowl, and that isn’t likely to change this year. They are paying +4000 to lift the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas next February – the same odds as the Denver Broncos, and just ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears.
AFC Champions (+2200)
Not to belabor the Browns historic failures in the postseason, but along with being one of 12 teams to never win a Super Bowl, they are one of just four teams to never play in one. That is also unlikely to change this year because of the stacked AFC.
But, on the plus side, Deshaun Watson has been a very good quarterback in the past, and a very good postseason quarterback. Putting a little money down at +2200 isn’t a crazy bet.
AFC North Champions (+425)
The top team in the division is clearly the Cincinnati Bengals, and then right behind them are the Baltimore Ravens. But this isn’t a top-heavy division. All four AFC North teams have projected records of over .500.
It won’t be easy to win the North, as the +425 odds indicate. But it’s not impossible. If the offense comes together like it should, and everyone stays healthy, Cleveland will be in the mix.
Browns Win Total 9.5 (+130)
You can find win total lines for the Browns at 8.5, but the over on those only pays -175. Bump it up to 9.5 wins, meaning that the over hits when the Browns win a 10th game this season, and the payout is +130.
Comparing the two lines and what the potential payouts are, at 8.5 and -175, a $100 bet wins you just over $57. At 9.5 wins at +130, a $100 bet on the over would win $130.
Weekly Browns Betting
Last year was a tale of two betting seasons for the Browns. With Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, the Browns went 5-6 against the spread, and were 7-3-1 on the over. They were a middling bet against the spread, but offense was your friend on total point bets.
When Deshaun Watson took over in Week 13 the offensive run stopped. The Browns were just 1-5 on the over, and 3-3 against the spread.
The Browns are middle of the road in strength of schedule for 2023, with the 14th easiest schedule using projected win totals. They are the early point spread favorites in nine of their 17 games this coming season.
