Daily Dawg Tags: Cleveland Browns 2019 over-under set at nine wins
By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including the Browns expected to see a two win jump in 2019.
With all of their moves this off-season, the Las Vegas sportsbooks have been looking very kindly on the Cleveland Browns. Instead of predicting the Browns to be one of the worst teams in the league next season, Las Vegas sees them as being one of the best in the AFC.
Following the addition of Odell Beckham Jr., the Browns became the favorite to win the AFC North in the eyes of the Las Vegas sportsbooks. They have also been given the third best odds to win the AFC Championship.
For the past several years, Cleveland’s best odds from Las Vegas were to be the team selecting first overall in that year’s draft. But the tides, and the odds, have quickly turned in favor of the Browns.

"On Sunday, sportsbook operator CG Technology released its over-under win totals for all 32 NFL teams. And one of the most notable numbers came in the form of the Browns over-under wins total, which opened at 9 victories."
Although Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said 2018 was not a successful season, the strong second half of the season, as well as their additions this off-season, has created these high expectations for Cleveland in 2019.
Cleveland Browns will visit with Ohio State’s Dre’Mont Jones
The Browns may have filled their need for a defensive tackle when they signed Sheldon Richardson to a three-year deal, but they may not be done. Randy Gurzi notes that the Browns will be meeting with Ohio State defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones prior to the 2019 NFL Draft.
"Yes, I think Mayfield will be able to keep both star receivers and other players happy with enough passes for everyone. Even though Beckham and Landry are both used to being the top dog on their respective teams, the Browns will run enough of a pass-oriented offense that neither will go hungry in this scheme."
The one thing that Jarvis Landry and Beckham have made clear over the past several weeks is how they value winning instead of individual performance. If the Browns are winning, there shouldn’t be any problems. But if they go on a stretch of losing, Baker Mayfield may have his work cut out for him in the locker room.
