This game may need to be flexed into the 10am EST Euro Spot even though it is being played in Vegas. One way to describe what we saw from both of these teams last week was ugly. Below, we will give you the Browns Raiders preview along with the Browns Raiders predictions. These two teams have nowhere to go but up after last week, but I am sure one of them will do nothing but disappoint.
Cleveland Browns at Las Vegas Raiders Preview and Predictions
It was hard to look worse for the Browns but somehow they did. After recovering the opening kick off a fumble and scoring on the very next play, they did nothing but look awful. Doing that in front of your home crowd is one of the most embarrassing things you can do. Getting away from Cleveland will be good for this team because the fans are calling for the heads of Coach Stefanski and DeShaun Watson.

Vegas winning on the road as nine-point underdogs only to lose to the worst team in the league at home was extremely on brand for them. I believe that is how the rest of the season will go for the Raiders. They are a team we can buy as underdogs and sell as favorites. Quarterback Gardner Minshew is a ton of fun but is not the most consistent starter in the league.
Browns +2
As I said above, we can buy the Raiders as favorites and sell the Raiders as dogs. This Browns team is still talented, in my opinion. When Watson looks good, he looks good! I believe they are the better teams on both sides of the ball, and if this line was a pickem, I would not be shocked. Grab those two points and run. The Browns surely have the firepower to get it done and win this game on the road.
Amari Cooper Anytime Touchdown
This is the first time Amari Cooper is playing his old team since he left the Raiders. Outside of that, he is truly one of the Browns best skill players and will be the go to guy for Watson. Look for Cooper to find the end zone in a bit of a revenge game.
