NFL Insiders Heavily Leaning Raiders Against the Browns

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to take on the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Each team comes into the game sporting a 1-2 record, and both have quite a lot of problems regarding their current situations.

Every week, the NFL's Youtube channel gives a preview for each game on the league's slate, and at the end of each video, a selection of 10 analysts give their score predictions, as well as which team they think will win.

For the Raiders and Browns matchup this week, eight of the 10 analysts predicted the Raiders to win.

The only two analysts who picked the Browns were Bucky Brooks and Eric Edholm. Brooks predicted a 20-17 Browns victory, while Edholm's score prediction was 19-18, signaling a field goal-infested game.

Every other analyst selected the Raiders, and the scores varied a bit. One thing that was clear from these predictions, though, is the fact that none of the analysts expect a high-scoring game at all.  That makes sense. Both of these offenses have struggled significantly in 2024, and both are in a slump currently.

For Raiders' fans, it might initially seem odd to see the Raiders being favored here. Las Vegas is coming off a brutal loss to the Carolina Panthers , one in which the team was dominated by a Panthers team which was widely suspected to be the worst in the league.

However, Cleveland is coming off an embarrassing loss of their own. The Browns were just beaten at home by the New York Giants , and their offense has some issues of its own as well .

Overall, to protect your sanity, doing something else with your Sunday afternoon might be a good idea.

According to these analysts though, the Raiders should be able to win this week.
