The red-hot New York Giants shoot for a sixth straight victory, and their second outright win of the year as road underdogs, when they take on the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday in an NFL Week 12 matchup at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Giants improved their record to 7-2 with last weekend's narrow 22-16 win over Chicago, but failed to cover as 7-point chalk, ending a five-game unbeaten stretch against the spread. New York is unbeaten in seven when favored by seven or more, but has struggled at the sportsbooks, covering in just three of those contests.
The Browns are coming off another devastating loss last weekend, this time to Pittsburgh, which handed them a 24-9 pounding as 8-point road chalk. Cleveland has now lost 14 straight SU, covering in just three of those contests, and has tallied 10 or fewer points in each of its past three.
The Giants have been favored by 7.5 or more points in three of their past four against Cleveland. New York won and covered in two of those contests, but suffered a 35-14 defeat as 8-point chalk in its last visit to Cleveland eight years ago.
