New York Jets vs Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Browns -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Browns TBA/Jets TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 36.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland (10-5 SU and ATS) continues to get it done and solidify at least AFC Wild Card status. In Week 16, the Browns beat Houston 36-22 as 3-point road favorites. Joe Flacco and Co. are on a timely 3-0 SU and ATS upswing.

New York (6-9 SU/5-9-1 ATS) blew all of a 27-7 halftime lead at home against Washington. The Jets fell behind 28-27 with 4:52 remaining. But Gang Green escaped with a 30-28 win on a final-seconds field goal, while failing to cover as 3-point favorites.

Chase Michaelson, risk supervisor at The SuperBook, said Cleveland opening close to touchdown chalk vs. New York seemed about right.

"We closed Browns -5.5 on the lookahead. But after that impressive Cleveland performance in Houston, we bumped this number up," Michaelson said. "The total is on the high end after both teams played high-scoring games today. But that could change, depending on the forecast in Cleveland."

The spread already moved up to Browns -7 tonight, while the total is stable.
