Key Matchup Factors

• Baker Mayfield's performance leads Cleveland's offensive success
• Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt provide elite rushing attack
• Potential return of Odell Beckham Jr. could boost passing game
• Tyrod Taylor faces tougher test against Browns defense
• Texans' defense showed promise with 3 interceptions last week

Analysis The Browns hold significant advantages in talent on both sides of the ball. Their rushing attack remains elite behind Chubb and Hunt, while their defense should challenge Tyrod Taylor more than Jacksonville did. However, the Texans showed defensive potential with three interceptions in Week 1.

Prediction Cleveland should win if they can pressure Taylor into mistakes and generate turnovers. Without strong defensive execution, the game could be closer than the spread suggests. The Browns' offensive firepower and home-field advantage should ultimately secure their first victory of the season.
