Despite a wild offseason, Cleveland still has plenty of talent on both sides of the line with a winning record. The Browns' offense is sixth in the NFL in points (28.3) and fifth in total yards behind QB Jacoby Brissett (4 TDs, 1 INT), while the ground attack leads the league with 190.7 yards per game. Atlanta got its first win of the season last week, surprising Seattle on the road, 27-23. However, this rebuilding team has a lot of holes. QB Marcus Mariota has as many TDs as interceptions (3), while the defense is #22 in yards allowed, #27 on third down, #26 against the pass, and #25 in points surrendered (27 per game). The Falcons are 38-63 ATS at home after a victory, 29-47 ATS against teams that average 375+ yards per game, plus 2-18 ATS at home after three or more straight spread covers. Play Cleveland.
