Cleveland Browns at Atlanta Falcons: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 4 matchup

Marcus Mariota and the Atlanta Falcons look to win their second consecutive game when they play host to Jacoby Brissett's Cleveland Browns.

Mariota's offensive weapons — Cordarrelle Patterson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts — were enough for the Falcons to down the Seattle Seahawks in their Week 3 matchup, but how will Atlanta match up with the Browns' defense? Defensive end Myles Garrett was considered day-to-day after suffering injuries in a car crash. The game kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m. from Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Here's a look at the betting details and USA TODAY's NFL staff picks for the Browns vs. Falcons Week 4 game:

Lorenzo Reyes: Browns 22, Falcons 19

The Falcons are 3-0 against the spread this season, and Myles Garrett’s status certainly makes Cleveland’s position in this matchup a little more tenuous, but the Browns have the NFL’s top rushing offense and the Falcons are in the middle of the pack.

Safid Deen: Browns 28, Falcons 27

The Falcons return home after a two-game road trip where they almost beat the Rams and got their first win over the Seahawks. They’ve played relatively well despite their 1-2 record, and don’t have the talent to match up with the Browns this week, but they’ll make it interesting. Browns defender Myles Garrett likely won’t play, but I expect the Browns to start Jacoby Brissett to continue feeding Nick Chubb and Amari Cooper plenty in this one. Cleveland, without Deshaun Watson, improves to 3-1.

Lance Pugmire: Browns 30, Falcons 17

A friendly schedule continues for Cleveland, who hope to ride the energy of a 10-day break and a victory over longtime bully Pittsburgh to a 3-1 start.

Jarrett Bell: Falcons 24, Browns 21
