11/28/21 Best Bet: Cleveland Browns +3.5 (-110)

What on earth is going on with Lamar Jackson? Seriously. This dude has the weakest stomach of any professional athlete I’ve ever heard of. Either he’s missing games due to illness, has COVID or is running to the bathroom in the middle of the game. Whatever is going on with that isn’t going to factor in too greatly in my handicap here. This one is all about Cleveland. They are getting healthier. They will get Kareem Hunt back. More importantly, they are getting back Jack Conklin, their great offensive tackle. While I think Cleveland would be better served just playing Case Keenum at this point, I get why they want to roll with Baker. I do get the sense with the way he’s played over the past few weeks, that Baker may “reaggravate” an injury if he’s playing poorly again. Either way, I just don’t think there’s enough separating these two teams that merits the hook I’m getting here. Anything over a FG is great in a tough divisional game. Gimmie the Brownies.
