Texans vs Browns Prediction

In this Texans vs Browns Prediction, the Texans are coming as -4.5 road favorites. The Texas have a worse record than the Browns this season and there are also injury concerns. They have been in excellent form with a 3-1 record both straight up and against the spread in their last 4 games, while the Browns have dropped two straight following a 5-1 streak, but are still 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. Cleveland has also won its last two home meetings against Houston so I like them as home dogs in this spot. Take the Browns and grab those +4.5 points.
