Why the Browns can cover
Cleveland is in contention for the postseason thanks in large part to a rushing game that is ranked third in the NFL at 156.2 yards per contest. The attack is led by Nick Chubb, who is fifth in the NFL with 881 yards and tied for seventh with nine rushing touchdowns. The 24-year-old, who fell four yards shy of 1,000 as a rookie in 2018, amassed 1,494 last season to finish second in the league.
Kareem Hunt is a double threat out of the backfield, gaining 772 yards on the ground and 252 through the air. The 25-year-old from the University of Toledo led the Browns in receiving on Monday, making six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. Hunt leads Cleveland with 10 total TDs, running for five scores and making a team-high five touchdown catches.
Why the Giants can cover
The strength of New York’s offense is its running game, which produced over 100 yards in seven straight games prior to the loss to the Cardinals. Wayne Gallman leads the team with 561 yards and six rushing touchdowns, both career highs. The 26-year-old from Clemson had his most productive game in Week 13, when he recorded his first 100-yard performance in the NFL with 135 in a victory at Seattle.
Gallman has rushed for three TDs in his last three home games and six in his last seven overall contests. Darius Slayton is the top receiver on the Giants as he leads the team in yards (629) and touchdowns (three) on 42 receptions. A fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the 23-year-old Auburn product made 48 catches for 740 yards and eight scores as a rookie last season.
