The Cleveland Browns' offense struggled in Week 1, largely due to the absence of key offensive linemen. However, with the potential return of either Jack Conklin or Jedrick Wills, the offensive line should stabilize, providing Deshaun Watson with the protection he needs. This improved protection could spell trouble for a Jaguars’ defense missing cornerback Tyson Campbell. Even with David Njoku likely sidelined, Cleveland's passing game has a favorable matchup to exploit. While the Browns’ run game might encounter resistance against Jacksonville's solid defensive front, the focus will be on Watson and the aerial attack to capitalize on the secondary's weaknesses.

Defensively, the Browns are anchored by star pass rusher Myles Garrett, and this could be a game-changing factor. Jacksonville's offensive line, particularly rookie tackle Anton Harrison, has shown vulnerabilities, which Garrett and the Browns' pass rush can exploit. With Cleveland's ability to generate pressure and their strength in stopping the run, they have the tools to neutralize Travis Etienne and force the Jaguars into a one-dimensional, pass-heavy offense. This could lead to mistakes from Trevor Lawrence under pressure.

If the Browns can stabilize their offensive line with returning players, they are well-positioned to control this game. The key will be taking advantage of Jacksonville's defensive vulnerabilities while using their formidable defensive front to pressure Lawrence and disrupt the Jaguars' offensive rhythm.

Expect the Browns to cover the spread this week. The combination of a potential rebound from the offensive line, a favorable passing matchup against Jacksonville’s depleted secondary, and a relentless defense led by Myles Garrett creates a strong case for Cleveland. The Browns have the pieces to dominate both sides of the ball and force the Jaguars into costly errors.
