Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns opened as 8.5-point road underdogs against the Detroit Lions ahead of their Week 4 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is currently 45.5.
The Browns (1-2) are coming off of an improbable and stunning 13-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Even though Cleveland’s defense was outstanding throughout the whole game, the offense was stuck in mud yet again, to the point where it was a 10-0 lead for the Packers with just a few minutes to go in the game. Suddenly, in those final four minutes, everything went Cleveland’s way. After a field goal, the Browns intercepted a pass and returned it to the 4 yard line, before the offense tied the game shortly thereafter. The Packers quickly got into field goal range, but then the Browns blocked the kick, and the offense had a few plays to get in range for a 55-yard game-winning field goal.
The Lions (2-1) are coming off of a 38-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. It was a shootout affair that saw a defensive play — a Derrick Henry fumble — turn the game in favor of the Lions mid-way through the fourth quarter. After the Packers were able to hold the Lions’ offense in check in Week 1, Detroit has erupted for a combined 90 points in the past two weeks. What will happen when they meet the Browns and their top defense in football?
The over/under for the game is 45.5.
