NFL Week 2 Best Bet: Browns vs. Colts Spread

The Cleveland Browns visit the Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday to play against the Indianapolis Colts.

There is no doubt that elimination pool players took a hit in Week One when the Browns were upset at home by the Bengals but we’re certain that the remaining survivors won’t make the same mistake this week.

Oddsmakers currently have the Browns listed as 3-point favorites versus the Colts, while the game's total is sitting at 37.

While we realize that Kerry Collins is taking Peyton’s place, we did a double when we saw Cleveland installed as road chalk.

Yes, the Brownies are a surprising 5-1 SU and ATS as road favorites but let’s not forget that they have won just four of their last 19 road games

– with only half of those wins coming by more than three points! Meanwhile, the Colts have owned the AFC North (19-2 SU, 14-6-1 ATS) with most of that damage coming against Cleveland (5-0 SU).

And while it hasn’t happened too often in the Peyton era, Indy is 15-7 ATS as home dogs, including 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS off a double-digit beatdown. If the Colts are taking, so are we.
