The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have a 0-1 record overall this season but they looked good in their season opener. They lost 20-17 to the Dolphins on the road, but they came out strong in that game and gave the Dolphins a good scare. Now the Jaguars are back at home and have a chance to get their 1st win of the season against a team that was terrible in week 1. The Browns also have a 0-1 record overall but they looked terrible in their season opener. They lost 33-17 at home to the Cowboys and the game wasn't even close with the Browns out of it right from the start. This Browns defense has been really good for so many years, but they struggled to keep the Cowboys off the board and it doesn't help that their offense couldn't stay on the field. The offense was terrible with the run game struggling and Watson looking like he doesn't even belong on the field anymore. There are just too many problems with this Browns team out of the gate and even though the Jags lost their season opener, there were a lot of positives to take away from that game that they can build on here in their home opener. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game. 

Browns Jaguars Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, September 15, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Jaguars 27 Browns 13.
