vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Cleveland sits at 27th with a -7.44 neutral-field rating, meaning they'd be roughly a touchdown dog to an average team, and the 4.9-point injury dock for Dillon Gabriel and Denzel Ward's questionable tag explains much of that drag. The 5-2 record is doing a lot of misleading work here: a +1.4 point differential and near-zero EPA per play over the last five say this is a below-average team winning close games, so sell high and fade them as favorites.
