The Browns are entering this game with a 4-3 record overall and they have a 1-2 record in their divisional games too. They are 3-1 in their home games, 1-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Seattle Seahawks 24-20. Phillip Walker was the starting QB and he completed 15/31 passes for 248 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. Kareem Hunt led the team in rushing yards with 55 and 1 TD. Amari Cooper led the receivers with 89 receiving yards on 6 receptions. Juan Thornhill led the defense in that game with 6 solo tackles and 0 assisted tackles while Myles Garrett led the defense in sacks with 1. Martin Emerson Jr. and Maurice Hurst II each came away with 1 interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Browns listed as an 8 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Browns are 4-3 this season but they have looked a lot better in their games lately with PJ Walker at QB for them. They are coming off a road loss in Seattle but they looked really good in that game and still almost won it. Now they are back at home and even though the Cardinals put up a fight against the Ravens last week, they were also at home for that game. Now the Cardinals are traveling North and to the other side of the country for this road game, their 1st game without Dobbs at QB since they just traded him away. The Cardinals will be rolling out rookie QB Clayton Tune in this game and this is a really tough spot for him to start his 1st game of his career on the road against the best defense in the NFL right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Browns to cover the spread in this game. 

Cardinals Browns Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 5, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Browns 27 Cardinals 13.
