Cleveland Browns vs Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening point spread: Broncos -2
• Opening moneyline: Broncos -135/Browns +115
• Opening total: Over/Under 36.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver briefly dipped from -1.5 to -1 Monday, but rebounded in a hurry, charging out to -2.5 at BetMGM. On Wednesday, the Broncos returned to -1.5 opener, and the line hasn't moved since.

Spread tickets and money are running dead even at BetMGM. Short 'dog Cleveland is getting the moneyline nod, at 67% of tickets/54% of money.

The total opened at 36.5 and by Tuesday morning bottomed out at 35. By Saturday, it rebounded to 37, where it remains this morning. Ticket count is 3/1 and money 8/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Broncos haven't budged off -2.5 this week at TwinSpires. Denver is netting 62% of early spread bets/61% of early spread dollars.

Lucas said the total is getting more attention early, dipping from 35.5 to 35. The Under is attracting 67% of bets/78% of money.

"The Under is a very popular play. It's our biggest liability on a total so far," he said.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Denver (5-5 SU/4-5-1 ATS) ran its win streak four games (3-1 ATS). The Broncos got a late touchdown to overtake Minnesota 21-20, though they failed to cash as 2.5-point faves in the Sunday night game.

Cleveland's first week without Deshaun Watson wasn't pretty, but it was effective. The Browns (7-3 SU and ATS) edged Pittsburgh 13-10 on a field goal as time expired, cashing as 2.5-point faves.

Browns-Broncos opened -2 at The SuperBook, but was taken off the odds board once Vikings-Broncos kicked off. Browns-Broncos will go back up Monday morning.
