    The New York Giants are coming off a historical loss against the Washington Commanders in Week 2 and are still searching for their first win of the season.

    After getting thrashed by the Minnesota Vikings , 28-6, at home in Week 1, the Giants scored three touchdowns, didn't allow a single touchdown and still lost to the Commanders in Week 2. No team has ever done that in NFL history.

    Now, the focus turns to visiting the Cleveland Browns , who are coming off their first win of the season.

    Both the Giants and Browns have dealt with some major question marks at the quarterback position, though Daniel Jones looked much better in Week 2. Meanwhile, Deshaun Watson continues to fail to live up to the massive contract he signed with the Browns.

    The Giants enter this matchup as 6.5-point underdogs on the road. Here's how the experts around the league are picking this matchup:

    NFL picks, predictions Week 3: Giants vs. Browns

    Bill Bender, Sporting News: Browns 22, Giants 13

    Bender: "The Browns are home, where they are 6-1 ATS as a favorite since last season. Cleveland has not forced a turnover through two games, but it will get a few here with the pass rush on Daniel Jones. The Browns will lean on the ground game to put things away, too. New York is generating three sacks per game, and that could be a game-changer if they can get to Deshaun Watson. If not, then the Browns will cruise at home. New York is not a good road team, posting a 2-8 S/U record since last season. "

    Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Browns 23, Giants 14

    Iyer: "The Browns are back rolling defensively with Myles Garrett, who will use this opportunity to tee off often on Daniel Jones after they contain his two key weapons, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and new lead back Devin Singletary. Deshaun Watson will grind away with more help from the running game to create enough field-goal drives to keep a good distance at the end."

    Jeremy Cluff, Arizona Republic: Browns 23, Giants 15

    Cluff: "The Browns are 0-1 at home, but went 8-1 at home last season. It's hard to win in Cleveland, as Daniel Jones and the Giants will find out."
