Las Vegas has spoken and provided its betting win totals for every NFL team next season. Following an 11 win season in 2023, the Browns are projected to take a step back in 2024.

2023 was a magical season for the Cleveland Browns.

Ravaged by more than a dozen season-ending injuries to numerous key players from running back Nick Chubb, quarterback Deshaun Watson and both starting tackles, among others, Cleveland scratched and clawed its way to an 11 wins and a wild card berth in the AFC. The team's late season run was aided by the acquisition of veteran QB Joe Flacco, who led the team to a 4-1 record over a five game span, clinching a playoff berth for the franchise in an unforgettable Week 17, win over the Jets.

While the roster is already taking on a new look ahead of next fall, general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski are hoping some of the good vibes from last season carry over to the next one. Unfortunately for Browns fans, Las Vegas doesn't go off of vibes.

Earlier this week, BetOnline released their official 2024 win totals for every team in the NFL, with the Browns coming in at 8.5. That figure represents a step backwards from their projected win total prior to the start of the 2023 campaign, which was set one win higher at 9.5.

Cleveland is listed with the third best win total within the AFC North, as Baltimore leads the group with an 11-win projection. The Bengals come in with the second-highest projection of 10.5 wins and Pittsburgh falls in a half game behind Cleveland with 8.

Five other teams share an 8.5 win projection with the Browns, including the Bears – poised to have rookie quarterback Caleb Williams captaining the offense – the Colts, the Jaguars and both LA teams.
