The season got off to a rocky start for Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns after getting blown out as the betting favorite against the Dallas Cowboys.
Watson was poor for much of the game, failing to drive the ball down the field multiple times in the first three quarters.
A civil lawsuit is creating another distraction for the organization, so they must travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars.
The Jaguars also performed poorly in Week 1. Although their play on the field was spectacular, they surrendered a second-half lead to the Dolphins and ultimately lost the game.
The pressure is more likely on the Browns in this game. A loss to the Jaguars could lead to possible quarterback controversy and tension in Cleveland.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) thinks the Cleveland Browns are a great teaser option.
“Bringing the Browns up to 9.5 or 10 makes a lot of sense this weekend. They played about as poorly as they could in Week 1 but were up against a buzzsaw in the Dallas Cowboys.
The defensive line for the Browns should be able to pressure Trevor Lawrence and help keep this one within a touchdown at the very least.”
