The New York Jets (0-1) and the Cleveland Browns (1-0) meet in a Week 2 matchup Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Jets vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Jets hit the road for the first time this season after a 24-9 setback at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. Coach Robert Saleh said last week that the earliest we’ll see QB Zach Wilson (knee surgery) will be Week 4, so it appears veteran QB Joe Flacco will make a second straight start.
The Browns gutted out a 26-24 win against the Carolina Panthers on the road in their opener, helped by a 58-yard game-winning field by PK Cade York with just 8 seconds remaining on the clock. The run game was particularly stout, going for 217 yards.

Jets at Browns picks and predictions
Prediction
Browns 26, Jets 17
Money line
The Browns (-280) are likely to win a second game, as they face a backup quarterback on a team that isn’t very good. However, you cannot risk nearly 3 times your potential return on anybody, unless you’re involving them in a parlay.
PASS.
Against the spread
BROWNS -6.5 (-108) is a very attractive play and will continue to be as long as this doesn’t go to a flat 7, or 7 and a hook. If the latter happens at some point, go a little lighter.
The Jets are just 6-21-1 ATS in the past 28 games in September and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs. The run game of Cleveland will likely be too much for New York to handle here.
Over/Under
A total under 40 points in this day and age of football is a little low. Play OVER 39.5 (-110), as the Browns combined with the Panthers last week for a total of 50 points. This is a good offense, and it will have its way against Gang Green. The Over is 5-1 in the past six September games for Cleveland, including Week 1 at Carolina.
