Some signs that might point to a high-scoring game that could see the Browns come out on top are that the Jets plan on sitting all of their starters in the game leaving Zach Wilson as the QB1 under center. The Browns though, will be playing their starters to an extent that could help them jump out to an early lead.
With the Jets sitting all of their starters, it could leave room for the Browns to make something work on offense and find the endzone early and often. At some point early on though, the Browns will also look to sit their starters which could have the same effect on the Jets and allow them to find the endzone as well which leads to the over in sight.
One week until the Hall of Fame Game!
