NFL futures: Two Cleveland Browns bets to make

We're going through all the available futures offered to us for each NFL team and picking out two of our favorites.

Maybe it's a player prop future, maybe it's built on the team itself. Either way, we're finding two bets for all 32 teams. Today's target: the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland Browns 2024 odds

  • Wins: Over 8.5 (-138) | Under 8.5 (+112)
  • To win division: +600
  • To win conference: +2200
  • To win Super Bowl: +4000

Two future bets on the Browns

Over 9.5 wins (+140 FanDuel)

The AFC is a loaded conference, there's no denying that. They have that reputation very much because of the crop of quarterbacks scattered throughout. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, CJ Stroud, Justin Herbert, and Aaron Rodgers headline the AFC.

It's for that reason people may tend to overlook the Cleveland Browns, but that would be a mistake. Cleveland has two massive things going for them: an elite defense on all three levels, and one of the best offensive lines in football.

Can Deshaun Watson be an above-average quarterback? He hasn't shown us much of that in a few seasons, but Joe Flacco being able to come in and get this team to the playoffs is proof that even competent QB play with this group of wide receivers (Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, David Njoku, Elijah Moore) and Nick Chubb back at running back can make for a great team.

We like Cleveland to make a run at the playoffs, but to be safe we'll simply load them up for 10+ wins.

Nick Chubb Most Rushing TDs (+3000 DraftKings)

Nick Chubb missed most of last season with an injury, but all signs this summer point to a fully-recovered player. Chubb has been one of, if not the best running back in the league for the last few seasons, and behind one of the NFL's best offensive lines, his production should get right back to what we're used to.

Chubb had rushed for 8+ touchdowns in five straight seasons prior to last year, twice ending with 12 scores. 12-14 rushing touchdowns would likely put him in the running here, and at 30-1, sign us up.
