Cleveland Browns vs. Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 13 Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |

Cleveland Browns Analysis
Offensively, the Cleveland Browns have displayed both consistency and explosiveness this season. Led by quarterback Deshaun Watson‘s steady yet not spectacular play in their passing game (he completed 61% of his passes with an average completion percentage of 64% and 1115 yards total thrown, seven touchdowns). Their real strength lies in their ground game; Jerome Ford accounted for 563 rushing yards at an average 4.1 average yards per carry rate; Amari Cooper added an extra dimension by amassing 749 receiving yards with an average 16.6 yards per reception averaged by him alone!
Defense wise, the Browns still need work. While their run defense has been impressive, their pass defense may leave gaps open against an effective passing attack like that of Los Angeles Rams’ quarterback Jared Goff. To counteract such threats from opponent teams like this one, tighten their secondary and apply pressure continuously upon Rams quarterback Jared Goff to combat their passing threat.
Los Angeles Rams Analysis
The Los Angeles Rams offense led by Matthew Stafford has been an effective mix of high-flying passing and efficient rushing. Stafford’s 2260 passing yards and 9 touchdowns highlight their aerial threat while his 8 interceptions indicate some risk in their playmaking strategy. Kyren Williams has emerged as a reliable running option, amassing 456 yards on the ground; Puka Nacua stands out in receiving group with 897 receiving yards demonstrating big play potential.
On defense, the Rams have proven more adept at stopping passes than runs; this could prove vital against a Browns team boasting a powerful running game. To be effective against them, however, they must focus on restricting their ground game while exploiting any gaps in their passing defense’s weaknesses.
Cleveland Browns vs. Los Angeles Rams Against the Spread
The Browns have been a mixed bag when it comes to betting trends. They have gone over the total in 4 of their last 6 games and are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games. However, their record against the spread (ATS) is concerning, especially against the Rams, standing at 1-5 in their last 6 encounters.
The Rams, on the other hand, have struggled ATS in their recent outings, going 1-4 in their last 5 games. Their tendency has been towards lower-scoring games, with the total going under in 5 of their last 7 games. Their head-to-head matchups against the Browns have historically leaned towards lower totals as well.
Cleveland Browns vs. Los Angeles Rams Free Pick
Based on the odds, trends, and team statistics, here are our picks:
Moneyline: Rams -115
The Rams’ passing game could exploit the Browns’ weaker pass defense, tipping the balance in their favor.
Spread: Browns +0.5 (-108)
The Browns’ strong rushing attack could keep the game close, making them a safe bet against the spread.
Total: 40.5 under (-116)
Given both teams’ recent trends and the Rams’ strong defense against the pass, a lower-scoring game is anticipated.
Predicted Score: Los Angeles Rams 20, Cleveland Browns 17
In conclusion, for those interested in live betting in Canada and beyond, the most reliable pick seems to be the Under on the total points. Both teams have shown tendencies towards games where defenses play a key role, and this matchup is likely to follow that pattern. Keep an eye on the evolving game dynamics, especially the Browns’ running game and the Rams’ passing efficiency, as these will be crucial in determining the final outcome.
