Denver Broncos at Cleveland Browns Odds - NFL Betting

The time has come in Cleveland for quarterback Brady Quinn. After playing behind Derek Anderson last season and for the first eight games this season, Quinn will get the start on Thursday at 8:15pm EST on the NFL Network as the Cleveland Browns (3-5) host the Denver Broncos (4-4). Odds makers have the Browns -3 point favorites at home in NFL odds against the Broncos with a total of 46 in Week 10 odds. Anderson was a Pro-Bowler last season but has looked lost most of the time this year.

He was 17 of 33 on Sunday for 219 yards against the Ravens but threw an interception to Terrell Suggs that was run in for a touchdown that clinched the game for Baltimore. “It’s deflating when they run the ball in for a touchdown,” head coach Romeo Crennel said, “It’s deflating when they throw the ball over your head. It’s deflating when you don’t make a catch in the open. It’s deflating when you lose a game.” Thursday’s game is the first of the regular season for the NFL Network so get used to Thursday night NFL odds for the rest of the season. Vegas NFL odds at the Wynn sportsbook have the Browns -3 point NFL betting favorites with a total of 46.

Cleveland is just 27th in the NFL in offense and head coach Crennel decided it was time for Quinn. It is a short week for Quinn but he does get to face a Denver defense that is terrible. The Broncos are 29th in the league and haven’t stopped anyone on the NFL schedule. It won’t get any better for the Broncos on defense considering they lost weak-side linebacker D.J. Williams to injury against Miami. He was the leading tackler for Denver this season. Denver is already without Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, who's out at least a month, and his brother, Boss, who's out for the season. They could also be without safety Marlon McCree who was hurt this past Sunday.

The injuries carry over to the offense as running backs Andre Hall (left hand) and Michael Pittman (neck) were placed on IR this week. The Broncos have won all three meetings in NFL odds since Cleveland got a team again including the only meeting in Cleveland in 2006. Denver is 2-1 against the spread in NFL odds for those matchups. Their one pointspread loss in NFL odds was at Denver. Two of those games went over the NFL betting total. The only game in Cleveland in 2006 did go under the NFL odds total as the Broncos won 17-7. The Browns are over 70% in NFL odds as a home favorite the past three years. The Broncos have gone over the NFL odds total on the road more than 60% of the time the past three years.
