The Cleveland Browns were aiming for a lot more this NFL season, but after learning about the suspension of its starting quarterback,Deshaun Watson, all indicates that the team will have to limit its ambitions at least for this season,unless the team is able to overcome his six-game absence.
The relevant question, however, is: Who will replace him? Jacoby Brissett would be the first choice because of his long NFL career with the Colts, Patriots, and Dolphins; however, Joshua Dobbs saw action in every preseason game with the team and is also a candidate. Be that as it may, there will be a clear drop in quality in the team’s offense, which scored an average of 21.3 points per game in the three-week preseason.
Betting on the Carolina Panthers
Regular Season Record: 0-0-0
Spread: -2.5
Moneyline: -133
Over/Under: 41.0
The Carolina Panthers also have problems at the quarterback position, but only on issues of depth:Sam Darnold and Matt Corral are injured, but Baker Mayfield, who is projected to be the starter after arriving precisely from the Cleveland Brownsafter losing his position to Watson, will have the unique opportunity to take revenge into his own hands against his former team in Week 1.
Carolina had a good preseason, winning two of three games, culminating in a 21-0 win over a Super Bowl contender like the Buffalo Bills, and will hope to carry that momentum into the start of the regular season.
JefeBet Prediction
With the offense being a big problem, the Browns will surely have to rely on their defensive line if they are to have any chance of pulling out a win.Fortunately, the Panthers are not a team with a great offensive talent, so they could do a good enough job to stop their opponent.
The bookmakers are predicting a low-scoring game, with this game having the lowest point total among all games in this Week 1 NFL matchups, and we believe they are right. In fact, only five of the Panthers’ and Browns’ six combined preseason games exceeded 41 points.
Pick: Under 41.0
