Jacksonville Jaguars vs Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Jaguars -3
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars -155/Browns +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 38.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: As is the case everywhere, this line made a quantum shift in BetMGM's NFL Week 14 odds market after the Trevor Lawrence injury. Jacksonville opened -3, went to -2.5 Monday, then Lawrence suffered a high ankle sprain Monday night.

Tuesday brought a line flip to Cleveland -2.5/-3, and the Browns peaked at -3.5 Thursday. Now, with Lawrence possibly playing today, it's Browns -1.5. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money almost 3/1 on Cleveland.

The total opened at 38.5 and backed up to 36 by Monday afternoon. Then it crashed to 30.5 by Tuesday afternoon, in the wake of Lawrence's injury. However, it's been on the rise since Thursday and is now at 36 again.

The Over is seeing 53% of tickets, while 63% of money is on the Under.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET WEDNESDAY: This line has done a 180 at TwinSpires, opening at Jaguars -3 and now at Browns -3. The flip is entirely due to the doubtful status of Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence, due to a high ankle sprain.

So Sunday's game will have recently acquired Joe Flacco starting for the Browns and likely C.J. Beathard going for the Jags. Spread tickets are running 2/1 and spread money 3/1 on the Browns early on.

"Flacco vs. Beathard, just how we scripted it," Lucas joked. "Lopsided liability on the Browns."

With the Lawrence injury, the total nosedived from 37 to 30.5. Tickets are 3/1 and money almost 4/1 on the Under at TwinSpires.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET TUESDAY: Jacksonville lost not only a game Monday night to close Week 13, but saw QB Trevor Lawrence exit late with a high ankle sprain. The game was tied at 28 when Lawrence was hurt, with 5:25 remaining.

The game ultimately went to overtime tied at 31, after the Jags got a field goal with 26 seconds remaining. But Jacksonville (8-4 SU and ATS), a 10-point home favorite, then lost 34-31.

Lawrence's injury had a huge impact on the Jags-Browns line, even though he has yet to be declared out. Cleveland is now -3 (-120) at The SuperBook, after opening a 3-point underdog.

The total also plunged in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 14 market. It opened at 38.5 Sunday night and was already down to 36 by Monday morning. That's due in part to the forecast, with potential for rain and wind Sunday in Cleveland.

But with Lawrence likely out at least this week, the total reopened at 32.5 and was quickly bet down to 30.5.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland (7-5 SU and ATS) is in a two-game SU and ATS rut, after 5-1 SU and ATS run. The Browns got a TD with 8:49 remaining to pull within 20-19 against the Rams. But Cleveland then gave up 16 points in the final four minutes and lost 34-19 as a 3.5-point road underdog.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville (8-3 SU and ATS) isn't yet out of Week 13. The Jags host Cincinnati on Monday night.

"Our instinct was to open this line higher. But Cleveland competed for three quarters with the Rams, and Joe Flacco at least has experience as an NFL quarterback," Michaelson said. "It'll be interesting to monitor the injury status of Cleveland's defense, as I think that will affect the total quite a bit."

The Jags-Browns spread and total are stable tonight in the SuperBook's NFL Week 14 odds market.
