Cleveland Browns vs Denver Broncos Prediction

The Cleveland Browns are coming off a nice win over the Steelers, but it's hard to ignore they've scored 18 or fewer points in 8 of their previous 9 games. The Browns have more showing and proving to do before I can trust them, especially on the road. The Denver Broncos are fighting to stay in the playoff race, and they're not only winning games, but they're 9-3 ATS on the season with covers in 5 of their last 6 games. The Broncos are the better team, at home, and they cash tickets. Give me the Broncos by a touchdown.
