Moody: I'm backing the Browns (-7.5) to cover the spread at home against the Jets. With Trevor Siemian under center, Cleveland's defense will give New York's offense trouble. With the fewest total yards allowed per game, the Browns defense is talented enough to take Garrett Wilson away and stack the box against Breece Hall. Due to an abundance of offensive line injuries, Cleveland has relied more on Joe Flacco and the passing game in each of his four starts. In those games, the Browns are 3-1 against the spread. Also, it is worth noting that the Jets defense has allowed the ninth most rushing yards per game.

Schatz: My preference here is to bet under 34.5. These are two of the top three defenses in the league by DVOA. Joe Flacco has played well so far for the Browns but his last couple years of performance probably tell us more about his future performance than the small sample size of a couple of good games in Cleveland. I expect both of these teams to run the ball more which should slow things down and lead to a low score.

Marks: Jets UNDER 12.5 Total Points. The Jets have the worst offense in the league and will face the best defense in the league — especially at home, where they are holding teams to 10 PPG. The Browns make a pre-postseason statement here, with their top five pressure rate and defense. The Jets offensive production on the road is anemic; in the last four games, they've scored 0, 6, 12 and 13 points.

Schatz: No! The Jets pass defense is excellent. In particular,
