The Browns are coming into this game with a 9-5 record this season and they are currently holding down the 1st Wild Card in the AFC. They have been picking up steam recently as they have won their last 2 straight games, but both of those wins were also at home. The Browns have not been as good on the road this season as they are 2-4 in those games and they have actually lost their last 2 straight road games as well. They are coming off of a 20-17 win at home against the Bears last week but they needed a comeback effort to win that game and Flacco was very inconsistent as he has been regressing in each start since making his 1st in this offense. They are going up against a Texans team that is 8-6 this season and they are right in the race for the AFC Wild Card as well as the AFC South now with the Jaguars slipping recently. They are going to be motivated here with multiple ways of getting into the playoffs still alive and they are also going to have a lot of confidence with Keenum starting after the way they won in Tennessee last week. The Texans have been very good all season and a lot of that has to do with DeMeco Ryans taking over as he has this team on the right track. The Texans have also been much better at home this season as they are 5-2 there and they are going to get up for this game as they can sniff the playoffs now. This is a bad spot for a Browns team that has not been good on the road this year and Ryans will have something ready to shut down Flacco and this offense. The Texans will cover the spread in this game.
