CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns were one of the prime breakout candidates a year ago and are now looking to solidify themselves as AFC contenders. Media outlets and betting odds themselves seem to agree that Cleveland is in the second tier of teams.

Where Media Outlets Rank Cleveland

Cleveland has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL and media outlets seem to think that they should be at the forefront of the AFC Championship race at the end of the season. Those betting on the NFL and siding with the Browns will find the support of some major outlets.

ESPN and CBS rank the Browns at No. 5 in the NFL while DraftKings has the team at No. 7 and PFF puts them at No. 8.

These more or less line up with the betting odds available on online sportsbooks. The Browns have the seventh-shortest odds to win the Super Bowl at +1600.
