Los Angeles Chargers - NFL Betting Analysis

Heading into week 5, the Chargers are looking to add another win after knocking off Houston Texans by a score of 34-24. Besides winning straight up, the Chargers also came away with an ATS win as the -5.5 point favorites. The teams combined for a total of 58 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 45. On their way to picking up a 10 point win, Los Angeles held a 13-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 27-14. Through 4 games, the Chargers have an ATS record of 3-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 2-2. This week's betting total of 47.5 is right in line with their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Chargers offense is averaging 23.0 points per game, placing them 12th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Browns defense giving up 23.8 points per game. Throughout the game, Los Angeles should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 1st ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, our projections show that the Chargers' offense will have its problems. Even though they have a decent matchup against Cleveland, look for Los Angeles to come up with fewer rush yards than their season average of 64.5.

 

Cleveland Browns - NFL Betting Analysis

In week 4, the Cleveland Browns dropped a non-conference matchup against the Falcons by a score of 23-20. Heading into the game, the Browns were expected to win as -1.0 point favorites. This outcome resulted in both a straight up and ATS loss. With an over-under betting line of 48, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 43. This was a difficult loss for Cleveland, as they held 3 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 4 games, the Browns have an ATS record of 2-2. So far, they have an over-under record of 3-1. This week's betting total of 47.5 is right in line with their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Browns' offense is averaging 26.25 points per game, placing them 6th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Chargers defense giving up 108 points per game. Although the Browns come into the game ranked just 25th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Los Angeles secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Cleveland to have an above average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Browns should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Chargers vs. Browns

The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to continue their recent dominance over Cleveland, as they have won 3 straight games vs the Browns. The two teams have combined to average 56.67 points per game in their last 3 meetings. Last year, Los Angeles and Cleveland played 1 time, with the Chargers winning by a score of 47-42. Los Angeles was the betting favorite at -2.5, while the over-under line was 47.0.

The Los Angeles Chargers have gone 2-1 vs the spread in these games. On average, the Chargers have averaged 34.67 points per game in the past 3 head-to-head matchups, compared to Cleveland at 22.0.

Over their last 3 regular season games, the Chargers have gone 1-2 straight up. In addition, the team has not done well vs the spread, going 2-1. Their over-under record in these games was 2-1.

Through their last 3 road games, Los Angeles has an ATS record of just 2-1. However, their overall record was 1-2 while averaging 30.0 points per game.

Through their 3 most recent regular season matchups, the Browns have gone 1-2. In these games they have gone just 1-2 vs the spread, while posting an over-under mark of 2-1.

Cleveland has played well in their previous 3 home games, going 2-1 straight up. In this stretch, they averaged 26.67 points per game while allowing 21.33. The team also performed well vs the spread at 1-2.

Recommended ATS Betting Pick: Chargers -3.0

Recommended OU Betting Pick: Over 47.5
