The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.

Remember playing “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better” as a kid? It feels like the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans are going to play a real-life version of that in an NFL game here in Week 13.

These two teams are pretty similar in how they go about things and you can even compare the personnel across the two rosters and see who’s better, who’s worse, and also see the ways in which these teams mirror each other to some degree.

According to the oddsmakers and the betting market, one team is clearly better and that is the Titans, who are -6 against the Browns with a total of 53.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> for this December 6 matchup.

Is the -6 an accurate description of the gap between these two teams? Is the -6 an indictment of the schedule that the Browns have played so far and how far below the market expectation they have been with an ATS record of 4-7? Is the -6 an indication of how much faith bettors have in the Titans, who have suddenly beaten Baltimore and Indianapolis on the road in back-to-back weeks?

Maybe we read your mind and those are your questions. Maybe you have other questions. Whatever the case, let’s stack these teams up side-by-side and see if we can find a bet to make in this game.
<h3><strong><u>Cleveland</u></strong><strong><u> Browns</u></strong></h3>
By any measure, the Browns have played a terrible schedule. Jeff Sagarin has them 31st in SOS, better than only the Washington Redskins. Pro-Football-Reference ranks their schedule 14th out of the 16 AFC teams and 29th overall. FootballOutsiders ranks the year-to-date schedule 29th. By comparison, Tennessee falls somewhere in the middle.

Against that weak schedule, the Browns are 11th in yards per play on offense with 5.8. The Titans are sixth with 6.0. The Browns are 13th in YPP allowed on defense with 5.4. The Titans are 16th with 5.6. The Browns lead the league in yards per carry with 5.0 and change. The Titans are fifth with 4.9.

Both teams struggle to consistently get pressure, though the Browns do have 13 more sacks than the Titans. The Browns will be without Denzel Ward and Ronnie Harrison in this game, so they had better find a way to get some pressure on Ryan Tannehill.

It is fair to hold it against the Browns who they have played, especially when they’ve failed to cover spreads as a favorite, but we also have to consider that they are getting a six-point head start in this game as a team that has a similar statistical profile to the Titans. Does the difference in opponents make enough of a difference here?

Are people overblowing the fact that the Browns are 8-3 with a negative point differential because they’ve been waxed by the Ravens in Week 1 and the Steelers in Week 6? In those two games, the Browns were combined -63 in point differential. They also committed five of their 12 turnovers.

<h3><strong><u>Tennessee</u></strong><strong><u> Titans</u></strong></h3>
If advanced stats are your thing, it is worth noting that the Titans are third in offense DVOA per Football Outsiders. That’s a big deal when you consider that they’ve played a tougher schedule than the Browns by a pretty good margin. It is also worth noting that the Titans are 28th in defense DVOA this season.

The Titans have taken great care of the football this season. They’ve only lost one fumble and the quarterbacks have only thrown four interceptions. Tennessee has scored on 47.4% of possessions to this point, whereas the Browns have scored on 39.6%. That is a big deal in any game, but especially this one with an expectation of points with a high total of 54.

The losses of Ward and Harrison, as well as the loss of Sheldrick Redwine and the questionable tag for Andrew Sendejo, mean that the Titans are getting a watered-down version of a Browns defense that has had a lot of problems this season. If this becomes a three yards and a cloud of dust game, there isn’t a big discernible difference between the two teams against the run. In fact, Tennessee, when adjusted for strength of opponents, grades higher in run defense DVOA.

Putting the ball in Baker Mayfield’s hands is the way to beat the Browns, right? That would seem to be the gameplan for Mike Vrabel and his assistants here, but it has been hard to stop the Browns ground-and-pound attack with two backs that can create positive yardage on just about every touch.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
A lot of devil’s advocate in that write-up, right? Well, there’s this, but there’s this. Sometimes you just run into that in a handicap. Can we reasonably assume that the Titans will the turnover battle? Yes. The Browns are without some playmakers in the secondary and Tannehill is more trustworthy than Mayfield.

Can we also reasonably assume that both running attacks have success? I sure think so. The Titans can probably take the top off of the Browns defense easier than Cleveland can do that the other way, but the identity of the Titans remains the run. Only the Vikings, Patriots, Browns, and Ravens have thrown the ball fewer times than the Titans.

I have to take Cleveland on the side here getting six points with two teams that are similar, but my favorite play here is the total over 53.5. Both teams should move the ball and have had great success scoring touchdowns in the red zone at 72.7% and 68.6%, respectively.
