Game: Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns

Summary: The hype around the Cleveland Browns has reached an all-time high. The addition of star players such as Odell Beckham, Jr., Sheldon Richardson, and Olivier Vernon have gotten the blood pumping for a fan base ready to finally have a winning season.

This Sunday, the team begins their goal of ending the longest playoff drought in NFL history as they host the Tennessee Titans. Every game is important and this one could help set the tone for the young franchise.

The good news is, they will have a full roster as OBJ, Jarvis Landry, and company will all be on the field. The bad news is, they didn’t play at all in the preseason. It would have been nice to see them get some reps, especially OBJ who is new to the team. With that not being the case, there could be a case of rust to shake off.

Even so, the Browns are the better team and they can handle the Titans based on their defense alone. It will look closer than it really should be as the offense has to shake off a little rust. But in the end, the Browns start things off 1-0.

Prediction: Cleveland 24, Tennessee 20
