The Cleveland Browns have played 21 regular season games since the last time they were favored in Las Vegas ahead of a matchup. That changes this week, as the Westgate SuperBook and other Nevada and online oddsmakers believe the Dog Pound will come out on top against the Andrew Luck-less Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n The line is currently giving the Colts 1.5 points, despite the game being played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Both teams have begun the season 0-2, but in Cleveland’s two losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, the team has shown some glimmers of hope.<\/p>\n That said, bettors aren’t finding some renewed faith in the Browns. After opening as a 2.5-point favorite, the line has shrunk by a point as gamblers put money on the Colts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With a win on Sunday, the Browns would match their season win total from a year ago after finishing 1-15.<\/p>\n Never one to bite his tongue, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman raised some eyebrows yesterday when he told reporters that the primary purpose of injury reports is to inform sports bettors and oddsmakers in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n “From what I understand, the rule is for the gamblers \u2026 to make sure that the odds and everything are what they’re supposed to be, which is apparently what the league is concerned about when talking about injuries,” Sherman opined. “So maybe somebody should look into that, because I thought we weren’t a gambling league and we were against all those things. But our injury report is specifically to make sure the gamblers get their odds right.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The NFL requires teams to disclose any “significant or noteworthy” injury on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday ahead of Sunday games.<\/p>\n\n
