Lions Are Big NFL Week 10 Betting Favorites Against Browns

The salary cap in the NFL is one that needs to be correctly worked if teams are to stay competitive for an extended period of time. There are a few teams in the league who have it down to a science, while others end up needing to go into a serious rebuilding stage because of cap mismanagement. The NFL Week 10 betting underdog Cleveland Browns are one team that are outliers of a sort, simply because it looks as though they have been in a rebuilding phase for decades. They have simply not drafted well, with the Browns front office making some decisions that leave you scratching your head. It finally looked as though they had a very good draft and offseason prior to the start of the 2017 season, but the results have been the same, as the Browns come into this weekend with a 0-8 record. They will be going against a Detroit Lions teams that has been a bit up and down this year, but who will still feel as though they can chase down the Minnesota Vikings to win the North. The Lions are an 11.5-point home favorite for this one, with the point total set at 43 ½.

Why bet on the Cleveland Browns?

There comes a point where you believe that this team may never break out of their slump, simply because of the decision they make and players they draft or sign somehow all end up being poor. The Browns decided to roll with QB DeShone Kizer this season, but have since benched the rookie a couple of times after poor showings. There are signs that he might be able to adapt to life in the NFL, but there are certainly going to be growing pains along the way. The same can be said for Myles Garrett, a good looking draft pick who has had injury issues this season. As the campaign has gone on, the Browns have looked less and less likely to win, scoring a combined 63 points in their last 5 games. You can’t expect to win with any degree of regularity when you are averaging less than 13 PPG. The Browns are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 on the road.

Why bet on the Detroit Lions?

The Detroit Lions started the season well enough, but 3 straight losses put them in a little bit of a hole and a game below .500. They put together a very solid performance on Monday night, though, picking up a 30-17 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. That win puts them 2 games back of the Minnesota Vikings at the top of the division, and you need to like their chances of at least staying in the Wild Card hunt with a win this weekend.

The Lions are huge NFL Week 10 Betting favorites over the Browns.

Oddly enough, though, the Lions have saved their best performances for the road this season, where they are 3-1 SU versus 1-3 at Ford Field. They have only won 1 of their last 5 in their own building, and are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 at home. That said, they should still be good enough to back the NFL Week 10 betting odds to win the game.
