Cleveland Browns vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Week 2: Odds, top bets, player updates, injury status, key stats

Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns had a rough opening to the season, suffering a resounding defeat despite being the betting favorites against the Dallas Cowboys. Watson struggled significantly throughout the game, repeatedly falling short of advancing the ball downfield during the first three quarters.

Adding to the team’s woes, a civil lawsuit looms, creating a storm of distractions for the Browns as they head to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars.

Jaguars’ Struggles in Week 1

Pressure Mounts on the Browns

The Browns are under immense pressure in this matchup. Another loss, this time to the Jaguars, could ignite a quarterback controversy and escalate tensions in Cleveland.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) believes the Cleveland Browns are a great teaser option.
“Bringing the Browns up to 9.5 or 10 makes mucho sentido this weekend. They played about as poorly as they could in Week 1 but were up against a buzzsaw in the Dallas Cowboys. The defensive line for the Browns should be able to pressure Trevor Lawrence and keep this close within a touchdown.”
