Point Spread: -3.50 | -107.00 Browns (CLE) (Home)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: -3.50 | -107.00 Browns (CLE) (Home)
Result: Loss
Jordan Love and Green Bay's first-string offense will see action. Browns starting QB Deshaun Watson won't play.
So why the Browns?
Depth and quarterback rotation are the main reasons for getting on board with the home Browns.
Matt LaFleur isn't going to play Love much. I'd be surprised if he played more than one series. The Packers have outstanding wide receiver depth, but their two best running backs, Josh Jacobs and rookie Marshawn Lloyd - who is out - are banged-up.
Green Bay's backup quarterbacks are Sean Clifford and rookie Michael Pratt. Clifford is having a terrible camp in this, his second season.
I like the Browns' overall depth more than the Packers, especially at quarterback. Cleveland's backup QB's are Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley. All three of them are better than Clifford and Pratt.
