The New York Giants face the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. The Giants seek their first win after falling to the Jets 7-12, while the Browns enter following a convincing 23-13 victory over Jacksonville.

Giants Outlook:

  • Multiple key injuries impacting roster depth
  • Daniel Jones expected to see first preseason action after sitting Week 1
  • Looking to improve offensive performance after struggling vs Jets
  • Notable injuries: Saquon Barkley (ACL), Kyle Rudolph (foot), Kenny Golladay (hamstring)

Browns Outlook:

  • Strong preseason opener showcasing depth
  • QB Kyle Lauletta: 212 yards, 2 TDs, 19/27 completions
  • QB Case Keenum: 115 yards, 12/17 completions
  • Defense recorded 3 sacks and 1 interception
  • Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah: 7 solo tackles, 1 sack

Betting Lines:

  • Browns -5.5 spread
  • Browns -250 moneyline
  • Giants +200 moneyline

Prediction: Browns -6

Analysis: The Browns demonstrated superior depth and execution in their preseason opener without most starters. Meanwhile, the Giants continue battling injuries and offensive struggles. Cleveland's balanced attack and defensive playmaking ability should prove too much for a depleted Giants roster, even with Daniel Jones' return.
