Cleveland travels to EverBank Stadium on Sunday, September 13. CBS has the 1:00 PM ET kickoff on the opening weekend of the <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/\">2026 NFL season<\/a>. Squawka Signal&#8217;s live read, including where the value sits, is in the block just below. Moreover, Signal rates <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/picks\/\">all 16 Week 1 games<\/a> the same way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On last season&#8217;s numbers this is the widest gap of the weekend. Jacksonville went 13-4 with 474 points; Cleveland went 5-12 and scored 279, the fewest of any team playing this round. Furthermore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/nfl\/teams\/cleveland-browns\/\">Browns<\/a> threw 18 interceptions at a 70.0 passer rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet one number complicates it. Cleveland&#8217;s defense recorded 53 sacks in 2025, and Myles Garrett had 23 of them, more than any player in the league. Jacksonville&#8217;s line, meanwhile, allowed 41. That is the single route to an upset here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- SQ_NFL_SIG_START -->\n\n<style>\n.sq-nsig{position:relative;overflow:hidden;border-radius:18px;margin:28px

They recorded 53 sacks in 2025 and Garrett alone accounted for 23, the most in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacksonville&#8217;s protection is the vulnerability that makes it relevant. Their line allowed 41 sacks last season, and Trevor Lawrence threw 12 interceptions. Consequently, if the Browns are going to stay in this, it happens through Garrett rather than through their own offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That offense is the problem, though. Cleveland converted 33.6% of third downs and posted a 70.0 passer rating, both the weakest figures of any team playing this weekend. Even a dominant afternoon from the front seven may not be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Myles Garrett (CLE, DE):<\/strong> 23 sacks in 2025, the most in the league, against a line that allowed 41.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trevor Lawrence (JAC, QB):<\/strong> 29 touchdown passes last season, though he also threw 12 interceptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brian Thomas Jr. (JAC, WR):<\/strong> Jacksonville&#8217;s primary target in an offense that converted 61.8% in the red zone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deshaun Watson (CLE, QB):<\/strong> Officially named as the starter, inheriting the league&#8217;s least productive offense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Devin Lloyd (JAC, LB):<\/strong> Five interceptions in 2025, part of a defense that took the ball away 22 times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to watch Browns vs Jaguars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game kicks off at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, September 13 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.

Meanwhile the devigged market reads <!--sig:CLE.mkt-->21%<!--\/sig:CLE.mkt--> on Cleveland and <!--sig:JAC.mkt-->79%<!--\/sig:JAC.mkt--> on Jacksonville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Browns do have a genuine weapon. Garrett&#8217;s 23 sacks against a line that conceded 41 is the sort of mismatch that can keep a bad team in a game. Still, 279 points across a season is the harder problem, and it is not one a pass rusher can solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we will take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/nfl\/teams\/jacksonville-jaguars\/\">Jaguars<\/a> to win, 25-15. Indeed, a 13-4 team hosting a side that scored 279 points should not need to be at its best. Which side carries the value, though, is a separate question from who wins, and the live read on that sits in the Signal block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal rates every game on our <a href=\"\/us\/nfl\/picks\/\">NFL picks page<\/a>.
