"The Browns are our only liability right now," Jay Rood, MGM's vice president of race and sports, said of his book's odds to win the Super Bowl. "We're sitting pretty well on every other team except Cleveland."
Over the past two seasons, sportsbooks have tried to push up the point spreads to attract money from the public on Cleveland, but week after week found themselves needing the Browns. The inflated lines on Cleveland often attracted sharp money on the Browns, Rood said.
"I almost guarantee you that is going to flip this year," Rood added. "I think we're going to see more sharp money come against the Browns this year and maybe more public money on the Browns this time around."

I'm sorry to see another summer end, but happy to have another football season arrive.

yes or just lay off. i love home dogs in nfl and thought 7 would be good for a team with clevelands offensive talent against a division opponent at home. but yeah the respect went too far and with the movement going on with it ill probably just play another game. i dont love pittsburgh this year so was looking for places to fade them but week 1 wont be one of those.
I’ll prob bet a little on Pitt -3.5, I like fading steam in the nfl after the line has settled sometimes.
Pitt D was bad without shazier last year but it’s a lot easier to replace a cog like that with 8 months notice rather than 5 days notice. And browns pass D is still bad and Pitt has the best receiver duo in the league probably.
Big Ben has some of the worst home/road splits in the league but that’s a lot of respect for the browns.
