The Buffalo Bills are the better team here and should be favored, but this is a lot of points. Josh Allen has been a little careless with the ball lately, and he’s still dealing with a banged up throwing arm. Also, while the record isn’t pretty, the Cleveland Browns are still one of the more talented rosters in the league. The Browns have a lot of quality players, and it makes them a tricky matchup most weeks, despite the losses. Lot of points. Give me the Browns.
