Cleveland Browns - NFL Betting Analysis
The Cleveland Browns kick off the season coming off a year in which they posted a regular season record of 8-9. Overall, the team came in 3rd in the AFC North.
This year, Cleveland will be looking for an increase in offensive output, as last year's unit averaged 20.5 points per game, placing them 20th in the NFL. Heading into the game, the Browns will be looking for a big performance against last year's 21st-ranked scoring defense. In 2021-2022, they averaged 18.5 points and 339.33 yards per game against the 10 worst scoring defenses in the league.
Last season, the Cleveland Browns put together one of the top rushing attacks in the NFL, ranking 4th in overall rushing yards. For the season, Cleveland outrushed their opponent in 53.0% of their games.
Getting the start at quarterback for Cleveland is Jacoby Brissett. Brissett is coming off a season in which he played in 11 games for the Dolphins and is heading into his 7th year in the league. Cleveland's leading passer in the 2021-2022 season was Baker Mayfield, who threw for 3,010 yards, good for 24th in the league.
This season, the Browns will look to take the jump into the top 10, as last year's defense finished near the NFL average in points allowed per game at 21.8. The team's defense allowed opposing teams to surpass 21.8 in 7 of last year's games.
Carolina Panthers - NFL Betting Analysis
The Carolina Panthers kick off the season coming off a year in which they posted a regular season record of 5-12. This performance left them in last place in the NFC South.

In the 2021-2022 season, they scored an average of 23.2 points per game against teams that finished in the middle third of the league in points allowed.
