Browns vs Patriots Betting Pick
This game will be played at Gillette Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, November 14, 2021.
Why Bet The Patriots:
✅ New England is flying high as of late, winning three straight games and four of their last five. Their last two wins have come on the road, including one on the road against a playoff contender in the Los Angeles Chargers. Against another contender in the Browns, the Patriots will get another win here.
✅ Cleveland looked good in their win over the Bengals in Week 9, but that win is overvalued thanks to the litany of mistakes the Bengals made at home in that contest. The Bengals gave up a 100-yard pick-six early in that game that completely flipped the complexion of the game and the Browns will struggle on the road this time around.

✅ Mac Jones has thrown just one interception during the Patriots’ three-game win streak. He has by no means been great, but has been solid for the Pats, which is all they will need when they have such an advantage in the game planning and strategy department heading into this matchup.
Cleveland Browns
Last week, the Cleveland Browns scored a 41-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati, moving them to 5-4 on the season. Cleveland took advantage of three Cincinnati turnovers, including a 100-yard pick six that masked a lot of Cleveland’s flaws in that game. In fact, the Browns only outgained the Browns by 13 yards in that contest and the Bengals held the ball for 10 more minutes than Cleveland.
Against the Patriots, teams know that they will not get the same kinds of gifts that the Bengals gave the Browns last week. As a result, Cleveland knows that they will need to play better than they did last week, even if the final score of the game against the Browns makes it look like they were dominant.
New England Patriots
The New England Patriots won their third straight game in Week 9, when they beat the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24-6. New England held the Panthers to just 240 total yards in the game, and they intercepted three Sam Darnold passes en route to an easy victory. This week, the Patriots will be tasked with slowing down a more potent offense than the one they faced against the Panthers.
This game is the Patriots’ first home game in three weeks, as they have spent the last two weeks away from home. Since going on the road, the Patriots have gone from a 3-4 team to a 5-4 team. Now, with the playoffs fully back in the realm of possibility, the Patriots’ home crowd should bring significant energy to back a mediocre, yet respectable, Mac Jones.
