1. Cleveland at Jacksonville
LINE: Cleveland -7
ATS PICK: Cleveland

Okay, Mike Glennon … GET IN THERE.
It’s not just about the new Jacksonville starting quarterback for a passing game that hasn’t hit 160 yards in three of the last four games. It’s about a team on a nine game losing streak that’s not great against the run going against a rolling Cleveland team that’s fantastic at running the ball.
You’re a little concerned that it’s a road game, and the Jaguars have been competitive at times – two of the last three losses were by a combined six points. However, Cleveland has the league’s third-best running game and it’s about to rumble at will.
The Browns should control the clock with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt blasting away, and that will make Jacksonville turn to Glennon to save the day.
Glennon hasn’t thrown a pass yet this year. Last season he threw ten passes for the Raiders – one for a touchdown – in two blowout losses. The year before that, he threw 21 passes for Arizona – one for a touchdown – in two blowout losses.
He got four starts in 2018 and wasn’t awful, but it was time to start the Mitchell Trubisky era – yeeeeeeesh – and that was it.
Glennon will let it rip, and he’s a veteran who won’t be shellshocked by the moment, but …
Take Cleveland.
