While it may not be the most appetizing option on Sunday, the Jets and the Browns will go at it on Sunday in what could be an interesting matchup.
If you saw the matchup between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns on the schedule before the 2017 season started, you probably already wrote it off as an embarrassing game that no one will watch. However, if you dig deeper, there are some interesting storylines to follow for both teams.
At the moment, the Jets are somehow tied for second place in a bizarro world version of the AFC East with the New England Patriots, and they potentially have the chance to take sole possession of second place if they can pull out a win against the Browns on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are still looking for their first win of the 2017 season, and more specifically are looking to get rookie quarterback Deshone Kizer his first digit in the W column on Sunday. This game against the Jets is likely their best chance to do so and makes this a more intriguing game to follow.
Odds: Pick-em, according to Sportsbook Review
It’s tough to pick a winner between two relatively awful teams with some of the worst reputations in all of football and that’s why Sportsbook Review has this game as a pick-em going into Sunday. However, there’s a serious case for the Browns to get their first win of the season, and it may be smart to throw down some money on Kizer and his offense on Sunday.
