The New York Jets face the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, September 18th at 1 p.m. The Browns enter as 6-point favorites (-250 moneyline) with an over/under of 40.5 points.

Last Week's Recap:

• Browns defeated Panthers 26-24

  • Nick Chubb: 141 rushing yards
  • Myles Garrett: 2 sacks
  • Zero turnovers, controlled time of possession

• Jets lost to Ravens 24-9

  • Joe Flacco: 300+ yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
  • Strong run defense (held Ravens to 63 rushing yards)
  • Struggled to score despite outgaining Ravens

Why Browns (-6) Make Sense:

• Control clock with strong run game
• Force Jets to be one-dimensional with Flacco
• Superior defense can force turnovers
• Dominated key stats vs Panthers (yards, first downs, ball control)

Why Jets (+6.5) Have Value:

• Elite run defense can limit Chubb's impact
• Force limited QB Brissett to win through air
• Outgained Ravens significantly despite loss
• Scoring issues likely to improve

Key to Game: Jets' run defense vs Browns' ground attack will determine outcome. If Jets contain Chubb, they can force Brissett into difficult situations and keep game close or potentially win outright.
