The wild card spots within the AFC appear to be wide open until the final weeks, and Patriots vs Browns may have a chance to stay in the running for one of them with a win next Sunday in NFL Week 6.
The New England team absolutely shut down the Lions, one of the top offenses in the league, 0-29, thanks to a stunning defensive performance. Meanwhile, Cleveland suffered a painful defeat in a 30-28 loss to the Chargers.

Betting on the New England Patriots

- BetMGM Spread: +3.0.
- Moneyline: (+135)
- Over/Under: 42.5
Despite sitting at the bottom of the AFC East, the Patriots’ win last weekend keeps them hopeful of rebounding and fighting for the postseason.
Facing one of the league’s best offenses, Detroit, New England conceded just 312 yards and made the most of every opportunity to come out on top. In addition to the five field goals made by Nick Folk, the defense returned a fumble by quarterback Jared Goff 59 yards to the end zone.
And while the offense remains a big question mark, especially with injuries to Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer, this Sunday they’ll face a Browns team that has, so far, struggled to stop opponents. That’s why, if the Patriots’ defense wakes up like it did against the Lions, Bill Bellichick understands how to win with few touchdowns.
Betting on the Cleveland Browns
- Season record: 2-3.
- BetMGM Spread: -3.0.
- Moneyline: (-164).
- Over/Under: 42.5
The Browns missed a great opportunity to share the lead in the AFC North after losing at home to the Chargers.
In a rather erratic fourth period, with the Browns down 30-28, Jacoby Brissett threw his third interception of the season and Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 16 seconds left in regulation to leave the Browns without scoring in the fourth and with the loss in the game.
The team’s 443 total yards, 230 of them thanks to a powerful ground attack led by Nick Chubb, were of little use, as the defense gave up 465 yards, the most so far this year. Only once have the Browns held opponents under 20 points, and the 6.0 yards allowed per play is the sixth highest figure in the league.
JefeBet Prediction
The Patriots’ offense has been inconsistent due to problems with their quarterbacks, but against the Browns defense they shouldn’t have much trouble scoring as they did against Detroit.
Cleveland won’t have an easy time keeping up their offensive pace against New England, but at home and with Nick Chubb in the middle of a great season, they won’t get blanked like Detroit either.
Prediction: Over (NE 20 – CLE 24).
