One team is 6-2 and tied for second place in the AFC standings. The other is 2-6 and riding a four-game losing streak. Yet when the Buffalo Bills (6-2) travel to Cleveland to face the Browns (2-6), the Bills will be underdogs, according to the wizards of odds in Las Vegas.
Cleveland opened as a 2.5-point favorite, despite losing four straight games by a combined margin of 114-63. For context, those losses came against the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots and the (gulp) Denver Broncos, teams with a combined record of 26-9.
