NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Allen Eastman
Take #468 New York Jets (-3) over Cleveland (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 13)
I like the home team. The number tells me all I need to know. The Jets have had a rough preseason. But that was the preseason. And they are favored for a reason in this home opener. The Browns are just 1-15 SU the last 16 years in their season openers! They are also just 1-15 SU when they don’t have Brian Hoyer under center, and Cleveland is just 5-28 SU in their last 33 road games overall. Cleveland is undermanned at running back and wide receiver. They don’t have the weapons to crack this very good Jets defense. New York has a first-year head coach that really wants to win this first game in front of the home faithful. This is a veteran team, and I think they are going to get the job done and get that first win of the season. Play on the Jets
