The Giants vs. Browns betting line opened really hasn't moved off Cleveland -6.5 all week.
Giants OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux had four tackles, two tackles for loss and two hurries against Washington last week. He had a team-high 11 1/2 sacks last season and looks primed to make plays this weekend.
The Commanders (1-1) came back to win an ugly game after the Giants lost kicker Graham Gano to an injury on the opening kickoff. Not having Gano forced New York (0-2) to go for it on several fourth-down situations after punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point attempt early.
Giants coach Brian Daboll is feeling some heat with the Giants starting 0-2 for the ninth time in 12 seasons.
The dependable vetera WR Amari Cooper's third season with Cleveland is off to a surprisingly rough start. He’s caught just five passes — on 17 targets — for 27 yards and the five-time Pro Bowler has had two huge drops on easy passes that could have been long gains. Look for the Browns to get the ball to Cooper early and often.
Browns come into this game 1-1.
Sagarin gives us a number of Cleveland 8.31 for this game, indicating an underlay.
