Calling Browns 16-14 (short of the 3.5-point spread), Dragon spotlighted edge terror Myles Garrett and a "top-ranked defense" as the difference in a duel between 2025 first-round passers Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. He expects each young quarterback to flash but believes Cleveland’s defense ultimately decides it.

Daniel Kohn passed along SportsLine’s 10,000-simulation output and labeled Cleveland –3.5 as a cornerstone of the site’s 25-1 Week 14 parlay. The computer projects the Browns to win outright 70% of the time and cover the spread in more than 60% of sims, creating what the model grades as one of its five biggest edges of the slate. Kohn noted that Cleveland, despite a 3-9 record, has found a steady offensive identity behind running back Quinshon Judkins, who tops the club with 758 rushing yards on 196 totes and seven TDs and just handled 23 carries for 91 yards against San Francisco. With the total set at a low 33.5 and Tennessee’s offense struggling, the model expects a tight, run-centric game script that boosts the value of the short home favorite and effectively prices the Browns’ spread closer to –140 instead of the market’s –110.
