The Browns are entering this game with a 1-1 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-1 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Browns listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Browns have a 1-1 record overall this season and they have been a mixed bag in their 2 games. They looked terrible in their season opener, getting blown out by the Cowboys at home in a game their offense struggled in, but they are coming off a road win against the Jaguars last week. The offense looked a lot better in that game and specifically, Deshaun Watson looked a lot better. They weren't as good in the 2nd half, but the Browns defense showed up in a big way to hold onto their lead in that game and even sealed the game at the end with a safety. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 0-2 record overall. They lost their season opener to the Vikings at home in a blow out, and now they are coming off a road loss against the Commanders in their last one. That was a divisional game and the Giants looked a lot better in it than they did in week 1, but the Commanders are still rebuilding and the Giants offense was only able to put up 18 points after the Commanders gave up 37 the week before. Daniel Jones isn't the answer for this Giants offense and he isn't going to have a better day against this Browns defense that is really good. The Browns defense will win this game by getting the stops against this Giants offense, and the Browns offense will do enough to pull away and keep their lead. The best way to place a bet here is on the Browns to cover the spread in this game.
