Who is your prediction to be taking snaps Week 1 for the Browns? Odds via ESPN BET / thescore Bet:

Have to think it would be Joe Flacco with that group.
Gotta stay healthy though. That’s a difficult room to be overly optimistic about.

Probably right. What would you set his O/U at for number of weeks holding the job?

I could see it being Flacco after his previous success. However, it's very possible he flops this time and they give him the hook early on.

Almost seems as though they would be giving up on the season to pull Flacco. The odds of those other three lasting 4 games would be high based on previous seasons.
So Flacco IMO would need to be 1-5 to give up that quickly early on.
Looking at their schedule, they are projected to be at least a 5 1/2 point underdog in the first six games. Double digits in two of them. That could get ugly real fast.
Season total is 5 1/2.
They are only projected to be a favorite once and only by one and a half at home to Tennessee.
Under seems logical. Whew !

I would go w the long shot sanders at +700

cus it’s the browns

Has to be Kenny Pickett. Flacco will be dealt to a contender and the other two will be apprentices to Kenny.

Thinking the opposite - Flacco until they are out of any chance of playoffs and then it’s the 2 rookies.

Pickett getting first team reps with intent of showing him off for potential suitors (Tennessee?). He’s worth something to
someone - but to the Brown’s he’s just not super valuable unless the team surprisingly gets off to a decent start and Flacco goes down. That’s a pretty low probability and of they can get a 4th or 5th rounder for him - they’d do it.
