Browns open as road favorites vs. Colts for 1st time since 2012

Just how bad has the start to the season been for the Indianapolis Colts?

For the first time since 2012, The Westgate Superbook have made the Cleveland Browns 2.5-point road favorites for their Week 3 contest against the Colts.

The same Browns who have only won once in their last 21 games are actually favored in a road game. It's also the first time in 21 games that the AFC North club has been favored.

Both teams enter the contest at 0-2, but the Colts looked far better with quarterback Jacoby Brissett getting the start in Week 2 instead of opening day starter Scott Tolzien.

Despite Brissett's performance, the oddsmakers apparently have more trust in Browns rookie DeShone Kizer than the former New England Patriots third-stringer.
