Cleveland played last Thursday, so they come into this game with a few more days of rest than Atlanta does. The Browns have a very good run game and the Atlanta defense is not very good. Atlanta’s offense has been able to score 26 points or more in each of their first three games, but I am taking the Browns here. Cleveland will lean on their ground game once again and Atlanta’s possessions will be limited.
