Texans vs Browns Prediction
Based on Cleveland’s troubling defensive record and the Texans’ offensive record with Nico Collins available, my Browns vs Texans prediction is the Texans Spread (-4.5, -110).
I’m going to wait on the weather before locking in an official prediction. Unless the Browns benefit from a high-wind game, Houston should have their way.
The Texans rank eighth in offensive DVOA for the season, including fifth through the air. It’s the first time since Week 1 the Browns faced a top-five pass DVOA offense.
At Jacksonville, the Browns lost 34-10 while posting their worst pass defense DVOA grade of the season (80.3%).
Houston’s metrics take an even greater step forward with Nico Collins available on offense. In Weeks 2-3, the Texans offense averaged a 3.7% pass DVOA grade.
By comparison, the Texans averaged a 49.6% grade in Week 1 and Weeks 4-8. After Week 9’s game against the Chargers, Houston jumped from a 37.3% grade to a 42.3% rating.
Even if the passing attack falls short, Houston showed prior life on the ground. Against a markedly better Jaguars rush defense, the Texans recorded a 9.7% rush offense DVOA grade.
The offense also delivered – by their standards – above-average performances against Buffalo and Indianapolis.
Of Houston’s -16.3% rush DVOA grade pre-Week 9, two -30% or worse performances against Cincinnati and Dallas drive the rating.
Both those teams possess the ability to disrupt Houston’s interior line. I cannot say the same about Cleveland, especially after they allowed a bad Saints offense to run on them.
Defensively, I worry about the Texans slightly. However, one can still make the argument they’ve looked bad due to the opponent and the spots.
The Giants impressed me against Houston as underdogs, but it came after the Texans returned from London. Against truly bad offenses this year, the Texans thrived.
With Cleveland coming off overtime, I predict the Texans cover the spread, weather permitting.
