Deshaun Watson's season-ending injury was supposed to tank the Cleveland Browns' season. 

But it hasn't, at least according to some sports books. 

The Browns are walking into a Week 11 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers as one-point favorites, according to BetMGM. 

Despite not having a starting quarterback, the Browns will remain in the thick of the AFC North race. 

Still, it is shocking to see the one-point favorite nod to Cleveland with Dorian Thompson-Robinson starting in the backfield. The last time Thompson-Robinson started, it didn't go well. 

However, that case was short notice. That will not be the case in Week 11. 

The Browns will rely on the defense, the run game, and ball control to attempt to come out on top. 

There is a reason the game is played on the field, however. Odds don't tell the full story.
