Premium Pick

Young Cleveland has been stockpiling high draft picks for a while and the Browns are playing like a young, hungry team with plenty to prove. They've outscored opponents by +13 this preseason while the defense has been great, allowing 9.4 points per game. In their only other road game they won 20-10 at the NY Giants as coach Hue Jackson is on a 6-1 SU/ATS preseason run. The QB rotation of Baker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor is playing well and the team has rushed for 138 and 164 yards the last two contests. They face another rebuilding squad in the Detroit Lions, who have a losing record through three games getting while outscored by -16 points. New Coach Matt Patricia came from the Patriots, where preseason is largely used for evaluation and getting various players reps. And there are still plenty of weak areas, as Detroit's down-to-down pass rush has been unimpressive, pass protection on offense has been a problem, along with red-zone production. Their QBs have been sacked 11 times in three games while the last two weeks the defense allowed 30 points in each game. Play Cleveland.
