Game: Cleveland Browns (0-1) at New York Jets (0-1)

Summary: The hype train came to a screeching halt as the Browns were blown out by the underdog Titans. Similarly, the Jets are taking an underdog approach when the Browns come to visit. They are not only going to be without Sam Darnold, but could also be missing C.J. Mosley (groin), Le’Veon Bell (shoulder), Quinnen Williams (ankle), and will be without tight end Chris Herndon (SUSP).

Although it is unlikely the Jets miss all these players, they will not be close to 100 percent. The Browns come in relatively healthy but were a very undisciplined bunch last Sunday. If the Browns commit 18 penalties and turn the ball over three times, it will not matter who the Jets have.

I expect the Browns to come out hot like last week; however, they will sustain it for longer than one drive this time. The Jets will be without at least one key defender, and at the beginning of the game, this hurts them. Once they settle in, I expect both offenses to struggle and for this to be an ugly game, an effect injury can have on teams.

Before the injuries, I think the Browns are the better team, and they certainly are after. The Jets will not go away, but towards the end of the game, the Browns get a big turnover to seal the game.

Prediction: Browns 24, Jets 14
