2026 Cleveland Browns Preview: Roster, Odds & Win Total

The gist

1. Shedeur Sanders posted a -0.186 EPA per play last season, making the Browns offense the lowest-rated in the league.
2. The defense, anchored by defensive rookie of the year Carson Swessinger, gives Cleveland a real chance to stay close as big underdogs.
3. The hosts say accidentally winning seven games with Sanders would be the worst outcome, as it would cost the team a top quarterback draft pick.
4. Week one against Jacksonville looks like a value spot, with the Browns listed at 8-point underdogs when fair value is closer to 6.3 points.
