Browns vs Raiders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Browns listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Browns have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC North with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. Their offense has looked terrible this season with their QB carousel, but the defense has looked really good and has been keeping them in games. Meanwhile, the Raiders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC West with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are off a 33-16 loss at home to the Cowboys in their last one and they struggled to move the ball against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Geno Smith has looked terrible all season and their defense hasn't looked any better either. The Browns have had their own offensive issues this season, but they could have some life here with Sanders making his first NFL start. He should give some new life to this offense against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, and the Browns defense is still going to be the best unit in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Browns to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Yeah, we didn’t do a good enough job, period, as a team and certainly as an offense in there. So, we’ll make sure that we get back to work.” - Kevin Stefanski after his team’s loss against the Ravens in their last game.
“It was a bunch of play-action passes, and I really wanted to see us do that. There's only one person to look at. It's me because I was influencing the game plan. (Offensive coordinator) Chip (Kelly) and I knew what was going on, but we were trying to stay with it to see if we could continue to get the big plays, which we were getting. Then we just stalled in the red zone. I don't really care about pleasing people with our run-pass mix. I'm trying to move the football.” - Pete Carroll after his team’s loss against the Cowboys in their last game.
