They are 5-1 in their home games, 2-4 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.

Mike Ford led the defense in that game with 6 solo tackles and 0 assisted tackles while no one on the defense recorded a sack in that one. No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Browns listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Browns have looked good in their games this season with their 7-5 record overall and they have one of the best defenses in the NFL that has been keeping them in a lot of their games. They haven't looked great in their last 2 games with 2 losses in a row now, but they are also going to be back on their home field here where they are 5-1 in home games this season. They have looked a lot better in their home games all year and the Jags are going to have a lot of trouble moving the ball on this defense, especially with Trevor Lawrence banged up and likely going to sit out for this game. The Jaguars have looked great lately with their 8-4 record overall but they couldn't close out their game at home on Monday night when Lawrence left the game and they lost at home to another team who was starting a backup QB. The Browns have had QB issues all season but their defense will bring their best effort in this home game, especially with the Jaguars offense coming in so banged up now. This will be a really tough road game for the Jaguars to win in their current situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Browns to cover the spread in this game.
