How to to bet on the Browns in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Cleveland Browns will come off their bye week to face arguably the best team in the NFL in the San Francisco 49ers.
Can the Browns defense hold them at bay and give themselves a chance to hand the 49ers their first loss of the season? I think they can do exactly that.

49ers vs. Browns key players to watch
San Francisco 49ers
George Kittle: The 49ers tight end reminded everyone that he's one of the best at his position in the league on Sunday Night Football in Week 5, hauling in three receptions for 67 yards and three touchdowns. He is one of the many weapons the 49ers can lean on at any given moment in any given game.
Cleveland Browns
Jerome Ford: For the Browns offense to get back on track, their need a running back to step up in Nick Chubb's presence. Ford is only averaging 3.7 yards per rush this season, only a shadow of the 6.1 yards per carry that Chubb averaged before he went down with a season-ending injury. Let's see if Ford can step up against the 49ers.
49ers vs. Browns prediction and pick
The San Francisco 49ers may be the best overall team in the NFL, but it's the Cleveland Browns who have the best defense. They lead the NFL in both opponent EPA/play and opponent yards per play.
Even more importantly, they're second in the league in opponent yards per carry, allowing teams to gain just 3.2 yards per rush. That's going to give them an advantage in this game as the 49ers get 54.4% of their offensive yards on the ground, the highest rate in the NFL.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns manage to pull off the upset, but I'm going to stay on the safe side of things and take the 5.5-points with Cleveland in what should be a fascinating interconference showdown.
