Browns vs. Texans odds, line, time: 2024 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend picks, predictions by advanced model

Teams with limited NFL playoff track records will kick off the 2024 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend schedule when the Houston Texans (10-7) host the Cleveland Browns (11-6) on Saturday. The Texans, the No. 4 seed, won the AFC South this season and their appearance in the 2024 NFL playoff bracket is the first trip to the postseason since 2019. The Browns overcame key injuries to quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) and running back Nick Chubb (ACL) to claim the No. 5 seed and return to the postseason for the first time since 2020. Neither franchise has ever been to the Super Bowl. 

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET from U.S. NRG Stadium in Houston. Cleveland is favored by 2.5 points in the latest Browns vs. Texans odds via the SportsLine consensus, while the over/under is 44.
