The Browns were able to put up 41 points against the Cincinnati Bengals and cruise to the easy victory. The Browns are averaging 24.9 points while the defense is giving up 21.8 points per game. Under center for the Browns is Baker Mayfield who has thrown for 1,917 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions. Nick Chubb is on the COVID list and it's unclear if he will be able to go in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the New England Patriots who sit with a 5-4 record overall and they have won three games in a row.

The Patriots are averaging 25.6 points while their defense is giving up 18.9 points per game. Under center for the Patriots is Mac Jones and he has thrown for 2,139 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

The Browns are 1-4 against the spread in their last five meetings in New England. The Browns are 2-6 against the spread in the last eight meetings.
