George Kittle led the team in receiving, catching three of four targets for 67 yards and three touchdowns.

The Cleveland Browns enter this game with a record of 2-2 following a 3-28 loss at home against the Baltimore Ravens while failing to cover the 1.5-point spread as a home underdog in week 4 of the NFL season. Cleveland scored 3 points while compiling a total of 166 yards offensively which included 121 passing yards and 93 rushing yards while allowing 28 points and 296 total yards defensively which included 186 passing yards and 131 rushing yards.

BookMaker has the San Francisco 49ers listed as 9.5-point favorites on the road against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon in week 6 of the NFL season. Cleveland has won three of the last five while San Francisco has won two of the last three games in the series. The Browns are 3-2 ATS in the last ten while the 49ers are 2-1 ATS in the last three meetings. San Francisco is 4-1 ATS overall, 1-1 ATS on the road, and 4-1 ATS as a favorite this season while the Cleveland Browns are 2-2 ATS overall, 2-1 ATS at home, and 0-1 ATS as an underdog on the year.

Through the first five weeks of the season, the San Francisco 49ers are looking like the most complete and most dominant team in the NFL as they enter this game with a record of 5-0 and have won by double-digits in four of their five games on the year. The 49ers are 4-1 ATS overall this season and have been the better team most recently at covering the spread in the series going 2-1 ATS in the previous three meetings. I look for those trends to continue when the 49ers travel to take on the Browns in week 6 of the NFL season which is why I am buying the .5 point and taking the San Francisco 49ers -9.
