Houston arrives in Cleveland winners of two straight, the latest a 44-22 result over a Los Angeles Chargers team that is now 0-8, while the Browns have lost three of their last four and now are just one game above .500. That combination is why this week's NFL prediction odds lean heavily toward the visitors.

Houston Texans -4.5: -116

My call here is Houston -4.5. The Texans have piled up 22 total touchdowns this season to Cleveland's 15, a gap that lines up with the size of this spread, and the recent 44-22 result came against a Chargers team with the league's worst record, so I'm not reading too much into the margin beyond the fact Houston finished the job. Watson is back under center after missing a game due to a concussion,but the Texans are still the pick at -4.5.

The Cleveland side

Cleveland has lost three of its last four, a stretch that includes a 27-6 road loss at Pittsburgh, now 6-2, and a 23-22 overtime defeat at New Orleans in their last game. Watson is back but even with a winning record they are only averaging 17.9 ppg and allowing 21.8 ppg, numbers that explain why this line sits for Houston even on the road. 

The Houston side

The Texans have won two of their last three games to climb to 3-5. C.J. Stroud leads a passing offence that ranks third in the league in but the run game has not helped out only ranking 29th in rushing yards per game. Houston is averaging 26.1 ppg against 24 ppg allowed, the better scoring margin of the two teams in this matchup.

Cleveland Browns vs Houston Texans Prediction

Houston's -238 moneyline on Bet365 implies a de-vigged win probability of 67% against 33% for Cleveland. My own number sits close to that, around 65%-35%, so the market looks fair here rather than badly mispriced. Still, with the issues the Browns have at QB and the lack of scoring is the reason the Texans are the pick. 

I'm backing Houston to win 27-17. The Texans are 2-1 on the road this season, with both wins coming by double digits, a pattern that fits this spread. Cleveland has not topped 22 points in either of its last two games. The 44 points combined goes over the low total of 39.5 and a 10-point Texans win easily clears the 4.5-point spread.
