Spread: Jets -1.5 / Browns +1.5
ML: Jets -125 / Browns +105
Over/Under 33.5
The Pick: NYJ/CLE Over 33.5
People tend to think Under for the HOF Game but it’s only gone under in 2 of its last 5. Good playmaking ability at the QB position in this one too. Kellen Mond starts for CLE before passing off to 5th round rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the 2nd half. Mond is mobile and DTR is a phenomenal runner. Josh Dobbs is also on CLE’s roster and he’s a quality back-up QB with NFL starts under his belt.
The NYJ won’t play any starters on defense and they have a huge DL rotation. The defenders playing the majority of snaps in this game won’t even make the roster. The same goes for CLE.
Zack Wilson starts for the Jets. While he’s struggling as a Pro, he’s not facing a #1 defense. He’s played in 22 games as an NFL QB and thrown for over 4K yards. He can move the ball on future Canadian Football League starters. Eventually 2022 Pre-Season MVP Chris Streveler will take over. He led the Jets to 3 come from behind wins during the 2022 pre-season on 24-33 passing, 277 yards, 5 Touchdowns, and 91 rushing yards.
