Browns vs Ravens odds (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS)

Opening line

The Ravens need to overcome a brutal collapse at Buffalo in Week 1 before facing the Browns’ defense. Cleveland gave Cincinnati fits in an opening loss, but it was a couple miscues on offense that made the difference. This line opened -11.5 after the look-ahead was -12.5, and the total hit the board at 45.5 O/U.

Opening line

Following the Jets battle with the Steelers in Week 1, this line re-opened at Bills -6.5 — a point shorter than the -7.5 look-ahead. But after Buffalo’s crazy comeback against Baltimore on Sunday night, the spread went to a touchdown. This total also made a move from the look-ahead number of 44.5 to 45.5, with New York’s new offense showing life against the Pittsburgh defense.

After a struggle with Seattle and the Saints showing fight against Arizona, this spread officially opened Niners -7 and dropped below the key number to -6.5. The total also slid from 44.5 to 43.5 points. Keep an eye on the status of San Francisco WR Juan Jennings (shoulder) and TE George Kittle (hamstring).
