Stephen Nover's NFL Friday Spread Crusher
(NFL) Washington vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -106.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
Not only do the Browns have home field. But they have the advantage of already having played a game, beating the Jets in the Hall of Fame game last week.

Cleveland also holds a QB edge. DeShaun Watson is expected to start and play several series. Watson will be looking to atone for his disappointing first season with the Browns last year.

Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson also should get snaps for the Browns. He was instrumental in the Browns upsetting the Jets last week with his dual threat passing and 36 yards rushing on six carries.

Sam Howell is expected to start for Washington. Perhaps veteran backup Jacoby Brissett might play, too, for Washington. However, the Commanders have a horrible third-string QB in Jake Fromm.

The Commanders have had plenty of distractions during training camp with new ownership and players complaining about the toughness of new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. They aren't going to be as ready to play as the Browns.
