Flacco, who threw three interceptions at Houston last week, also had three picks in the loss at Cincinnati to end last season and spoil Baltimore’s playoff hopes.

The NFL doesn’t offer any consolation prizes, but Cleveland can still aim for its first .500 finish since 2007 and hope to deliver a damaging blow to a division rival. “We have one week left,” head coach Mike Pettine said. “We’re going to focus all our energy and effort into that one.” Pettine said Wednesday that he expects “Connor Shaw to go out and execute and do his job if he starts Sunday,” which was made official Friday when the organization promoted Shaw from the active roster.
The Browns were a 17-13 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Panthers. They covered the +6-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (30) made winners of UNDER bettors.
