=14.0ptThe 2-7 Cleveland Browns will be on the road this Sunday afternoon. They will take on the 3-7 New Orleans Saints in the Ceasars Superdome. Cleveland had snapped a 5-game losing streak a couple of weeks ago over the tough Baltimore Ravens. However, they came back the following week and got smacked by the Los Angeles Chargers, 27-10. They are coming off a bye, which was much needed. Having lost their last 3 road games, the added time off should benefit the Browns before this meeting with the Saints. New Orleans has their bye week coming up next week. They are coming off a much-needed win last week over their rival Atlanta Falcons. They had lost 7 straight after starting 2-0 before last week. They had fired Dennis Allen from his head coaching position and the team responded in a strong way, picking up the 20-17 victory. It was a bend but do not break type of game for the Saints last week. They allowed over 450 total yards and 25 1st downs, but still were able to hold the Falcons to 3 scores. They will look to use that same model here against the visiting Browns who have had their struggles offensively all season. The Browns are 29th in the league in points per game at 16.4.
