Cleveland Browns vs Houston Texans Odds, Lines, Spread, and Picks NFL Week 13

The launch of online sportsbooks in Ohio is set for January 1, 2023. The Browns are playing in Washington this Sunday. Deshaun Watson will start for his new team against his old one. He served an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Cleveland Browns are a 7-point favorite against Houston Texans in NFL Week 13. The game is scheduled for 1 pm ET inside NRG Stadium.

Watson is one of the top quarterbacks in the league. He set career highs in passing yards (4,823), completion percentage (70.2%), TD (33), and passer rating (112.4). He will take over a Browns team that has wildly exceeded expectations this season. With Jacoby Brissett under center, Cleveland ranks fourth in offensive DVOA.

Watson hasn't started a regular season game in 700 days. He wasn't allowed at the team facility until a couple weeks ago. Watson started taking first team reps this week. Houston ranks 27th in total defense and 23rd in points allowed. They're especially vulnerable against the run, grading out 30th out of 30 in run defense DVOA.

Cleveland's defense is set up for success against Houston's offense. The Texans are last in offensive DVOA. Houston is starting journeyman Kyle Allen in place of a struggling Davis Mills.

Neither the Browns nor the Texans have any injuries that will affect the betting lines. Both teams are leaning on the run. The game should be a slow paced affair. Houston contests are 4-7 to the under this season. The total should fall short of the total.

Cleveland Browns vs. Houston Texans is NFL Week 13 game. Under 47 is the under-110 bet.
