Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints stream, odds, keys, and more
Predictions
As I alluded to earlier, I think this game is more likely going to be a shootout than a blowout. I think both defenses are susceptible to giving up big plays, and the height advantages for some of the receivers will come into play.

Cleveland will have to rely on rookie Antonio Callaway with Josh Gordon no longer in the picture. Jarvis Landry and David Njoku will be the focal points of the offense for Tyrod Taylor, but Cleveland needs Callaway to step up in Gordon’s absence. The rookie fourth-round pick had zero catches last week against Pittsburgh.
New Orleans should see another big game from Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara thanks to their height advantages, explosiveness, and the lack of experience on defense for Cleveland.
Unfortunately for Cleveland and their fans, the Saints will walk away with their first win of the year, and the Browns will drop to 0-1-1 for the first time in franchise history.
15. Final. 23. 53. 33
Those Bud Light coolers are going to be locked up for a while.
Inexperience will haunt Cleveland this year, but I think they eventually get that win that’s eluded them since Christmas Eve 2016.
Look for 300 passing yards from Brees, 150 all-purpose yards from Kamara, and at least one touchdown for Michael Thomas.
Cleveland should see Landry in the endzone at least once, and Tyrod Taylor could have a big run to keep this game close.

In the end, Brees will outlast Taylor and be victorious at home.
