NFL Wild Card Free Bet – Cleveland Browns @ Houston Texans – Saturday, Jan 13

#141/142 ASA PLAY ON Over 44.5 Points – Cleveland Browns vs Houston Texans, Saturday at 4:30 PM ET

These 2 met in Houston a few weeks ago and the total was set at 40.5 as Texans QB Stroud was injured and not able to play in that one.  Despite that, Houston still put up 22 points and lost the game 36-22 which went way over the total.  Houston struggled for much of the game which was to be expected with Stroud out.  Cleveland, on the other hand, tallied over 400 yards and had opportunities to put up more than the 36 points they posted.  They were shut out on downs twice in Houston territory and only had to punt 3 times in the game.  Browns QB Flacco threw for 368 yards and 3 TD’s as they struggled to run the ball vs a very good Houston rush defense.  Look for Cleveland to have success and air it out again on offense.  Their defense has been night and day in their home vs away splits.  The Browns allow +115 more total YPG on the road and while they only give up 14 PPG at home, on the road that jumps to 30 PPG!  Their road games average 54 total points this season.  Houston’s offense has been much better at home averaging 370 YPG and 25 PPG compared to putting up only 19 PPG on the road.  Stroud is back and healthy which will make a huge difference in their offense this time around vs Cleveland.  Both like to play fast ranking in the top 8 in tempo (seconds per play) and Cleveland has run the most offensive plays in the NFL this season.  In their meeting a few weeks ago the Browns ran 74 offensive snaps and Houston ran 66 for 140 total plays.  The NFL average per game is around 126.  No quit in either offense here no matter what the situation as this is obviously win or go home.  Over is the play.
