Key Stats
New York Giants
The New York Giants are looking to get their first win this season as they are coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Commanders last week. The Giants held the Commanders to 0/6 in the red zone, didn't allow a touchdown, and still found a way to lose the game. Malik Nabers had his coming-out party last week. Nabers caught ten passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. He looked like the number-one receiver New York drafted 6th overall. Devin Singletary had an outstanding game on the ground with 16 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, they struggled against the Commanders from a yards perspective. The Giants allowed 425 yards to the Commanders, including 215 rushing yards to Brian Robinson Jr. Allowing Washington to convert 7/14 third downs in week two was a killer for the Giants. They lost the time of possession battle 37:32 to 22:28 in last week's loss. Other than those issues, they generated five sacks and had ten tackles for loss. Overall this is a below-average defense, ranking 25th in points allowed per game (24.5), 28th in rushing yards allowed per game (163), and 18th in passing yards allowed per game (205.5).
Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns had an impressive win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in week two. They won the time of possession battle 34:23 to 25:37 while being held to 2/14 on third down. Deshaun Watson was solid when he needed to be, 6/9 passing in the fourth for 56 yards. Jerome Ford was excellent in his limited action. Ford had 7 carries for 64 yards, 9.1 per carry, however, D'Onta Foreman had the majority of the carries with 14.
The Browns' defense was excellent. Holding the Jags to just 13 points is impressive. They held Trevor Lawrence to 14/30 passing for only 220 yards, 7.3 per attempt. Cleveland's defense generated four sacks, had nine tackles for loss, one turnover, and had a big-time safety with 1:48 left in the game. Myles Garrett and the Browns' pass rush should feast on Daniel Jones and the Gaints' offense.
Prediction
The Cleveland Browns are going to cover the 6.5-point spread in this game. If the Browns can score 24 points, they will cover the spread. I am banking on the better defense to generate many three-and-outs, turnovers, and sacks in this game. The Giants are simply not good. The Browns will cruise to a big win in this game, they will dominate time of possession against a defense that is 28th in the NFL when it comes to stopping the run. Controlling the clock won't allow the Giants to score enough to keep this game close.
Final Pick
Cleveland Browns -6.5 (-115)
