Eric Moody’s tips

Courtland Sutton for 59.5 yards

This feels like a powerful piece. He has reached that number in five straight games, averaging 9.6 goals and hitting 75% of them in that span. The chemistry between Sutton and quarterback Bo Nix was undeniable, and now they face a Browns defense that allows the eighth-most receiving yards per game to wide receivers. With his consistency and workload, Sutton is well positioned to reach that mark again.

Nick Chubb under 59.5 rushing yards

He hasn’t reached that mark in any game this season, averaging just 14.6 carries and a dismal 3.1 yards per attempt. The matchup doesn’t help either – the Broncos’ defensive front ranks 13th in run-stopping win rate and allows the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game to running backs. This isn’t the place for Chubb to break out, so I’ll accept the under.
