Cleveland appears to have finally turned the corner and already has won four more games than their 0-16 season of last year and the Browns are also 7-4 ATS. They come off two wins in a row following Sunday's 35-20 victory at Cincinnati that wasn't as close as the score indicated. Baker Mayfield threw a career-high four touchdown passes and the Browns broke their 25-game road losing streak. Now that they've rid themselves of that stigma, the Browns travel to Houston to face the red-hot Texans, who'll playing on a short week after beating Tennessee on Monday night. DeShaun Watson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score and the Texans erased a 10-0 deficit to win 34-17. However, Cleveland apparently has responded well to interim coach Gregg Williams and the Texans are 0-7 ATS in their last seven December games. Also, Houston has covered just two of its last seven against teams with losing records and the Texans are 2-5 ATS their last seven home games going back to last season. The Browns have stayed UNDER 13 of their last 19 versus teams with winning records and the UNDER is 21-8 in Houston's last 29 December games and 10-4 UNDER their last 14 versus AFC teams. Take the Browns and UNDER.
