Browns vs. Jaguars Predictions For Week 2, Sunday 9/15

While both teams lost their Week 1 matchups, they were still quite different games. The Browns were arguably the biggest disappointment of the opening Sunday, losing 33-17 to the Dallas Cowboys after being favored by a field goal. If not for a late, meaningless touchdown a 33-10 final would have been more indicative of their poor performance.

As for the Jags, they were in a Florida Bowl with the Miami Dolphins and controlled the entire first half. There was plenty of drama with WR Tyreek Hill getting arrested before the game, but Jacksonville was far from outmatched. Unfortunately for Jags fans, the Dolphins made fantastic halftime adjustments and looked unbeatable in the final two quarters.

With that in mind, we aren’t surprised to see a point spread at the key number of three, but we’ll be sure to break that down in the best bet from our Browns vs. Jaguars predictions.

 

 

 

Cleveland Browns: Are The Watson Woes Official?

Ever since guaranteeing QB Deshaun Watson a whopping $230 million, the Browns have yet to see him put his money where his mouth is. Watson simply hasn’t been what he was in Houston with the Texans when he led the NFL in passing.

That puts Cleveland in a rough spot, as they are without superstar RB Nick Chubb for at least the first four weeks of the season. Many analysts are speculating that Watson and head coach Kevin Stefanski aren’t on the same page, as he’s the one calling the plays. Jacksonville may not be considered a world-beating defense, but they did contain the speed of Miami for much of Week 1.
 

 

 

Jacksonville Jaguars: In Trevor We Trust

On the flip side of that Jags defense is the offense led by the former Clemson duo of QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Travis Etienne Lawrence was given a massive contract extension this offseason for $55 million per year, and Etienne Jr. went as one of the first RBs off the board in most fantasy football leagues.

However, he did have a costly fumble in Week 1, which certainly didn’t help in a game decided by just a field goal. Although Jacksonville wasn’t far from home in Week 1, being in North Florida this Sunday will be a massive benefit. It’s also a factor for the best bet from our Browns vs. Jaguars predictions, but first, the latest Browns vs. Jaguars odds.

Browns vs. Jaguars Point Spread: Jacksonville +3 (-105 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

We know that a point spread right on the key number of three can be daunting, but we simply aren’t buying that Watson can revert to his former self until proven otherwise. Whether you buy into the disconnect narrative with Stefanski or not, the fact remains that the Browns offense was dreadful in Week 1.

The Cowboys suffered massive defensive losses this offseason yet looked like the league’s best in Week 1. The perfect way to explain that is this - Cleveland ran 43% of their offensive plays for either zero or negative yards! Keep in mind that the Jags just held the NFL’s best offense last season to just 20 points on the road last week.

Additionally, while the Browns and Jags aren’t division rivals that meet every year, they did play last season. Cleveland won that matchup, but that’s not what we’re concerned about. As far as we care, the Browns are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games against the Jags. Therefore, we’re confident with the best bet from our Browns vs. Jaguars predictions being on Jacksonville +3 (-105 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
