Betting on Cleveland Browns 2022-23 NFL Games

How did the Cleveland Browns Perform in the 2021 Season?

In the 2021 NFL regular season, the Cleveland Browns finished last in the division with an 8 (win) – 9 (loss) – 0 (tied) record. This record was the same as the Baltimore Ravens and the Browns failed to reach the playoffs.

Cleveland Browns Changes for 2022

The Browns have revamped their quarterback department with trades bringing in Deshaun Watson who can add the quality they need to succeed. However, he is banned for the first 11 games of the regular season which will leave new signing Jacoby Brissett, formerly of the Miami Dolphins to take charge.

Wide receiver Amari Cooper, might be the most important trade made while draft Cade York can help consistency with his field goal kicking, something the Browns must improve on in 2022. The most important losses to the Browns 2021 roster were cornerback Troy Hill, wide receiver Jarvis Landry and linebacker Mack Wilson.

Head Coach Kevin Stefanski and General Manager Andrew Berry will commence their third season working together for the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland Browns Key Players

There will be plenty of exciting short passes and running with tight end David Njoku and running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Aside from the new players on the 2022 roster mentioned earlier, other players that will need to step up for the Browns include wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones in order to take pressure away from Amari Cooper.

Defensively, offensive tackle Jack Concklin will need to remain injury-free, twice selected Pro-Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward and defensive end Myles Garrett will need to be at their best for the Browns to succeed.

Betting on the Cleveland Browns

Let us take a look at some of the ways to place a bet on the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 NFL season.

Moneyline

The most traditional type of betting is to select which team will win the game. The offered odds will be lower for the favourite, compared to higher odds being offered for the underdog to win. For example, the Cleveland Browns played the Cincinnati Bengals in November 2021 and were priced at 2.15 to win the game. In December 2021 against the Green Bay Packers, the Cleveland Browns had a line of 3.75 as the expectation was that they were less likely to win the game.

Spread (Handicap Betting)

This is one of the most frequently placed bets when betting on NFL games. It is essentially a bet on a team to win or lose by a certain number of points. The market provides a betting line that is then applied to the final score. A team with a minus point spread is the favourite while a team with a positive point spread is the underdog. The outcome of the bet is determined by the result.

Taking the example of the game against the Green Bay Packers, the Cleveland Browns had a point spread of +7 meaning they were classed as underdogs. The Cleveland Browns lost the game 22 – 24. If you had bet on the Browns, you would have won the bet because they lost by less than 6 points. If they had lost by seven points the stake will have been returned.

Total Points

Bet over or under on the total number of points scored in a game. A betting line will be provided so all you need to do is decide if more or fewer points will be scored.

For example, in their last game of the regular season, the Browns played the Bengals. The total points were set at 46.5 with a typical line of 1.91. The final score was a 21 – 16 win to the Cleveland Browns, providing a total of 37. Those that had bet under will have won the bet.

Prop Wagers

There is a massive range of exciting prop bets available before and during the game. You can make bets on the team or individual players. Here are some examples of what may be available for the Cleveland Browns:

• Over/under the total number of passing yards Jacoby Brissett or Deshaun Watson will make
• Over/under for the total running yards Nick Chubb will make
• Over/under the total receiving yardage Amari Cooper will make
• Which team will be winning at the end of the first half
• Which player will score the first touchdown
