Week 9 NFL picks for Chargers vs. Browns

Before you watch Sunday's Browns vs. Chargers game, you need to check out the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has gained well over $7,000 on top-rated NFL picks since its launch for $100 players. The model enters Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season with an incredible 13-5 streak when betting on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, the record is 194-134 among top-rated NFL picks since the 2017 season and 48-27 among top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

The model also ranked in the top 10 in straight NFL picks on NFLPickWatch over the past six years, beating more than 94% of CBS Sports' football pick'em players four times during that period. Anyone who follows sports betting and betting apps has seen strong returns.

For Browns vs. Chargers, the model supports Los Angeles to cover the spread. The Browns' offense was significantly better with Winston under center than with Deshaun Watson, and they were able to outplay the Ravens' stout defense. Cleveland will face the league's top-ranked defense again in Week 9. The Chargers enter Sunday's showdown giving up just 13.0 points per game this season.

Los Angeles' offense struggled with injuries all season, but had a strong performance against the Saints. The Chargers are also 2-2-0 against the crowd in away games this season, while the Browns have covered just once at home. Both teams will be looking to increase their win total, but the model is betting on Los Angeles to secure victory on the road. You may be able to stream the game here.
