Browns vs. Cardinals Week 15 Odds
PHOENIX, AZ (The Spread) – The Cardinals look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive when they host the Browns on Sunday afternoon.
CLEVELAND: The Browns dropped their third straight game last Thursday night when the Steelers beat them, 14-3. That dropped Cleveland’s season record to 4-9 although the Browns did cover as 14-point favorites, which improved their ATS record to 4-7-2. Colt McCoy suffered a concussion during the game and Pittsburgh linebacker Jerome Harrison was suspended one game for his hit on the quarterback. The Browns aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs but they might as well be. They’d have to win out and then receive a ton of help to qualify.
ARIZONA: However slim their chances may be, the Cardinals still have hopes of reaching the postseason this year. That’s because they’ve won three in a row, including back-to-back victories against teams that were in first place in their respective divisions when Arizona beat them (Dallas and San Francisco, respectively). In their latest victory, the Cardinals hung on for a 21-19 victory against the 49ers, who lost for just the third time this season. The win improved Arizona’s record to 6-7 and 8-5 against the spread.
ODDS: Oddsmakers have installed the Cardinals as a 7-point favorite over the Browns, while the over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 37.5 points. Cleveland enters the game with a 4-9 overall record and is 1-5 on the road, while Arizona is 6-7 overall and 4-2 at home.
TRENDS: The Cardinals are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games. The Browns, meanwhile, are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games in December and 2-8 against the number in their last 10 games as an underdog. They’re also just 5-14-2 ATS in their last 21 games overall.
