New York Jets -3, total 40
Both Teams Feature Running and Defense
The Browns and Jets both want to run the ball and play defense. Neither team has a great quarterback as both Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick are nothing more than game managers at best. The Browns expect to feature Isaiah Crowell on Sunday as he has played well in the preseason. Crowell scored 8 TDs last season and averaged 4.1 yards per carry. He will begin the season as the starter. “He’s a guy that came in, worked hard, saw an opportunity, seized it, had a heck of a rookie season for us,” head coach Mike Pettine said. “We’re looking for him to take off more in Year 2.” The Browns also have rookie Duke Johnson who they expect to have a big role this season.
The Jets want to feature Chris Ivory and have Fitzpatrick do as little as possible. Ivory is an underrated runner and he should get a lot of work on Sunday. The Jets do have a new top receiver in Brandon Marshall but for the most part they just want to hand the ball off to Ivory so that Fitzpatrick doesn’t have to throw the ball more than 20 times.
