Raiders vs. Browns Matchup Sees Another Major Line Move Ahead of Monday Night Football

There’s even more line movement in the Las Vegas Raiders versus Cleveland Browns matchup on Monday night. 

After the game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Browns facility, it appears not everyone will be back for the Browns tonight. Both quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum failed to test out of the league’s COVID protocol, which means Nick Mullens will start for the Browns.

The line in this game has moved a ton, as Cleveland opened at -3, moved up to -6.5 and then fell to +3.5 when it was announced that Mayfield had COVID. 

The Browns had moved back to three-point favorites on Monday morning, but the Mullens news has quickly moved this line back in favor of Las Vegas?

Raiders vs. Browns Prediction and Pick

Honestly, I’m not sure that Mullens starting changes a whole lot for Cleveland at home. 

The Browns got what they wanted with this game being postponed, and they still should be able to run on a Raiders team that has gotten dominated as of late. Las Vegas is basically out of the playoff picture, while the Browns could move to first in the AFC North with a win. 

I think this line move is a great sign, because I’ll back the Browns with the points. 

Pick: Browns +1.5 (-110)
