The Cleveland Browns (1-2) and Las Vegas Raiders (1-2) both seek to get back on track and will have that opportunity when they battle on Sunday, September 29 at 4:25 PM ET at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada in a NFL matchup.
This Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders betting preview offers the insight you need to bet, as the Raiders are slightly favored with a point spread at -1.0 (-105).
The Browns return to action seeking a win, as they fell short to the New York Giants 21-15 in their recent battle. They were down 21-7 at the half but did not produce any more points until the fourth quarter.
Deshaun Watson put up 196 yards and two touchdowns on 21 out of 37 completions. Amari Cooper had seven receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns and will be key in their upcoming game against the Raiders.
The Browns scraped together 217 yards and 16 first downs. On defense, they allowed 349 yards and 21 touchdowns. In games like those, they have to be perfect and cannot have turnovers (two against the Giants).
They have totaled 16.7 points per game and are currently ranked 25th in the league. On defense, they are giving up 22.3 points per game, which ranks 20th. This spread will have to change if they want to succeed.
The Raiders just had a disappointing 36-22 defeat against the Carolina Panthers. Gardner Minshew played as well as he could have but still needed to put up big numbers.
Minshew completed 18 of 28 passes for 214 yards but had an interception to go with his touchdown. Zamir White led with 10 carries and 34 yards to offer some ground game yardage.
They had about 100 yards less overall compared to the Panthers. They also allowed the Panthers to have possession of the ball for roughly 36 minutes to deal some damage. This cannot continue, so they must find a way to complete their third-down attempts.
The Raiders average 19.3 points a game and rank 17th. Their defense needs some work, as they give up 27.0 points each matchup and rank 27th. This spread has an opportunity to change if they can look down defensively.
