Week 16 NFL picks for Browns vs. Texans

Before tuning into Sunday's Texans vs. Browns game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 178-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 32-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

For Texans vs. Browns, the model is backing Over 40 points to be scored. Houston's defense is ranked 25th in the league after allowing an average of 239.1 passing yards and 14 touchdowns through the air this season. Since the Browns are a more pass-heavy team with Flacco under center, Cleveland could run up the scoreboard. 

That being said, Houston should also be able to get into the end zone since the Browns' league-leading defense isn't quite as impenetrable on the road. Cleveland has allowed more than 25 points in each of its last six road games. You may be able to stream the game here.
