There is a lot of hype surrounding the Cleveland Browns (some even claim them to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders) following a 5-2 finish to last season and acquiring several upgrades during the off-season.

I can understand the excitement as they indeed do have an interesting team, but it still feels like everyone is overestimating their edge here against Tennessee.

Scoring won't come easy for the Browns, facing a Titans defense that gave up just 18.9 points per game last year (the third-stingiest scoring defense in NFL). While their defense should keep them in this game primarily, let's not forget QB Marcus Mariota who can do a lot of damage when healthy and he should be better protected this year with an upgraded offensive line.

This is a lot of points to give to a team that just missed the playoffs a year ago, particularly for an unproven team like the Browns. Additionally, we can note that the Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in September while the Browns are 5-14-2 ATS in their last 21 games in Week 1.
