Cleveland looks to break a 15-game road losing streak

The Cleveland Browns are 0-15 SU and 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games on the road. The Browns will try to earn their first road win since October 11, 2015 this Sunday against the Houston Texans.

SHARK BITES
  • The Browns are 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games against the Texans.
  • The Browns are 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog of 12.0 or less.
  • The total has gone UNDER in the Browns’ last seven games against the Texans.

In a fashion that only the Browns could, Cleveland lost at home to the New York Jets on Sunday despite dominating the game. Cleveland won the possession battle and outgained New York 419 yards to 212, but three turnovers and two missed field goals led to the 17-14 loss. Kevin Hogan looked great in relieving the struggling DeShone Kizer, completing 16 of his 19 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns. Early indications point to Hogan starting against Texas.

Deshaun Watson continued his onslaught on opposing defenses with five touchdown passes on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough as the Texans fell to Kansas City 42-34. But the real story of the game was the loss of J.J. Watt, who will miss the rest of the season with a broken leg. Houston is 9-1 SU in its last 10 home games against teams with losing records.
