Cleveland is 7-1 straight up at home but 2-4 on the road. They've lost their last two road games at Denver (29-12) and the Rams (36-19). The Browns are 30th offensively on third down (31.02%) and they're down to 38-year-old backup QB Joe Flacco (7 TDs, 5 INTs). Four quarterbacks have combined for 16 TDs, 18 INTs, plus 40 sacks. Cleveland is 13-27 ATS after outgaining their opponent by 100+ total yards in the last game. Houston has won five of its seven home games and the offense is 10th in the NFL in total yards. With Cleveland 14-36 ATS against rush defenses that allow 3.5 yards carry, back the home dog. Play Houston.
