Oddsmakers currently have the Browns listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Titans, while the game’s total is sitting at 41½.
After taking a 7-0 lead, Cleveland fell flat on its face in its opener, turning the ball over five times to lose its 11th straight season opener. Manziel was 13-for-24 passing with a touchdown but was picked off once and lost two fumbles as he again looked uncomfortable against the blitzing Jets’ defense. Wide receiver Travis Benjamin was a bright light, grabbing three passes for 89 yards and a 54-yard score. He’ll most likely be the top target again this week as counterpart Dwayne Bowe (hamstring) is still questionable.
In their last action, Cleveland was a 31-10 loser on the road against the Jets. They failed to cover the +3.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (41) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

The Titans finished last season with a 10-game losing streak, a skid that included a loss to the Browns where they blew a 25-point lead at home in a 29-28 setback. Tennessee raced out to a 35-7 halftime bulge last week as Mariota threw scoring passes to four different receivers, including Kendall Wright, who caught four passes for 101 yards. The Titans took their foot off the gas after that and got 74 yards rushing and a score from Bishop Sankey but they could be without star tight end Delanie Walker, who scored a touchdown last week but is questionable with a wrist injury.
Tennessee was a 42-14 winner in its last match on the road against the Buccaneers. They covered the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 56 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
