Power-rating comparison
What the model sees in Texans at Browns
The Texans travel to face the Browns in Week 10. Our power ratings put the Browns 25th of 32 at -2.0 (Average tier) and the Texans 9th at +1.8 (Playoff tier) — a 3.8-point gap that home field narrows to a 1.5-point line on the Texans, 54% to win. It rates as the 14th-widest of the 14 games in Week 10.
The defense wins the headline matchup here: the Texans grade +2.4 on that side of the ball (1st of 32) against a Browns offense at -3.7 (31st) — 6.1 points the wrong way for the offense. Going the other direction, the Texans offense (-1.3, 26th) meets the Browns defense (+1.9, 3rd), a 3.2-point gap. Special teams adds to it: the Texans grade +0.7, 8th in the league, against -0.2 (31st) on the other side — close to a point of hidden margin.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Browns at 7.9 wins (favored in 6 of 17) and the Texans at 9.2 (favored in 11) — 1.4 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 8th-hardest game on the Browns' schedule and the 9th-hardest on the Texans'.
The series is dead level: 7-7 across 14 regular-season meetings since 2002. They have also met 1 time in the playoffs. They last met in 2023: Browns won 36-22 in December. Over their last 4 meetings the Browns are 4-0. History says these two are hard to separate, which is the one place it agrees with the ratings.
Wind is the variable at this venue: Cleveland home games in November have run a median 16 mph across 11 games since 2015, at a median 42°F. Wind moves kicking and the deep passing game more than temperature does, and our model has no term for either — this is context to apply on top of the 54% number, not something already inside it.
Calibration check, because a near-even number is the easiest kind to overtrust: across 3266 walk-forward games (2013-2024) the model gave a side 50-55% in 870 of them, and those sides won 52%. The Texans at 54% are in that band. A margin that thin is why we would rather wait for a price than call it a lean.
No price exists for this game yet; KXNFLGAME-26NOV15HOUCLE is not listed, and a model number is not a market number. Because the model is close to even here — 46% / 54% — the tradable window is narrow: Browns at 41c or below, Texans at 49c or below, and a pass on everything between. On near-coin-flips the opening price usually lands inside that window, which is why most games like this end up as no-position. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.
