The Cleveland Browns are favored by 3.5 points in the spread market, which is primarily supported by their overall and comparative performance stats. In the last five games, the Browns have outperformed the home team in scoring, with an average of 22.2 points against the home team’s 13.2 points. This is further substantiated by the point differentials, where the Browns have a minor overall positive margin of 0.8 points compared to the home team’s negative 14.2 points.

Additionally, the home team's negative Expected Points Added (EPA) values indicate their struggles in both passing and rushing plays, while the Browns have only a slightly negative EPA. Furthermore, the Browns have a higher explosive rate, suggesting they are more likely to make big plays. Finally, the Browns' recent record (2-3) is better than the home team's (1-4
