Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns Outlook For 2021 NFL Season

• The Cleveland Browns have (+1600) long odds to win the Super Bowl and (+800) long odds to win the AFC Championship.
• RB Nick Chubb has the third shortest odds set at (+650) to have the most rushing yards this season.
• Chubb is also (+800) to have the most rushing TDs this season.

CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns and star RB Nick Chubb could turn out to be some of the best bets this NFL season. Chubb’s odds to perform well this year could directly affect the Browns’ position as well.

Cleveland has longshot odds to win the Super Bowl and AFC Championship and the second shortest odds to win the AFC North. Chubb has the fourth shortest odds to finish with the most rushing TDs and the third shortest odds to end the year with the most rushing yards.

Should Chubb have a breakout season, leading the league in rushing TDs and yards, this could directly impact the Browns’ success. Betting on both Chubb and the Browns could net big wins with NFL betting sites.

Betting On Nick Chubb

Chubb is coming fresh off a season where he finished with 1,067 yards and 12 rushing TDs. The RB was 7th in yards and tied for 4th in TDs.

The star athlete was a big part of the Browns 11-5 record for the 2021-2021 season that saw Cleveland make the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and betting fans are expecting this to be a prelude to a new era for the team.

The Browns were a top-five rushing team in 2020, mainly due to the performance of Nick Chubb. Being the rushing yards leader or rushing TD leader in the upcoming season seems likely as the team could push more heavily on their running game due to the success they garnered with it last season.

Betting On The Cleveland Browns

With Chubb performing at such a high level, longshot bettors looking at the Browns could cash in big in a few categories listed on sportsbooks.

Firstly, winning the AFC North is entirely possible for Cleveland this year. The Browns were third in the division but had the same 11-5 record as the Baltimore Ravens who were placed second.

Additionally, Cleveland beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card game. The Steelers were first in the division with a 12-4 record.

Cleveland will also be seeing the return of WR Odell Beckham Jr. who suffered a season-ending injury last year. Having both an elite-level WR and RB on offense could easily see Cleveland take over the AFC North.

The Browns’ potential playoff success this upcoming season is also affected by Chubb’s play. The RB was a big benefit for the Browns during the 2020 NFL season and postseason, specifically in the fourth quarter where he led all other RBs in 4th quarter rushing yards. Chubb’s 4th quarter stats were the best seen in the last 30 seasons.

If the Browns continue to rely on Chubb’s clutch yardage gains this season, he could help edge Cleveland get into the playoffs, making them the AFC Conference Champions.

Last year, the Browns lost in the divisional round game against the Kansas City Chiefs who went on to win the AFC Championship. Cleveland’s biggest hurdle would be beating the Chiefs in the playoffs as they are favored to not only win the AFC but also the Super Bowl because of superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

If Cleveland can pull out an upset against Kansas City, betting on the Browns to win the Super Bowl wouldn’t be a ridiculous wager to make. Cleveland has a strong offense and has improved on their defense this offseason.

With Chubb on the roster and the return of Odell, taking action on their longshot odds to win the Super Bowl may come back to become a major win for lucky underdog betting fans.

The Cleveland Browns and Nick Chubb may end up netting big wins at regulated sports betting sites. The best way to capitalize on these odds is to wager early before the lines begin to shift as games are played.
