The Over/Under is 40.5 points. Lowest total in the league.
Injuries:
Jets:
Wilson is still out and Flacco will start for the second straight week.
Both starting offensive tackles are out.
Browns:
Greedy on IR
Will Conklin and/or Hubbard play?
Key Matchups:
--The Browns pass rush vs the depleted Jets offensive line. The Browns should be able to generate a lot of pressure on Flacco and he is not the most elusive qb in the world. They are going to need to get that pressure because the Jets have some very good receiving options.
--The Browns run defense vs the Jets running game. The Browns did a nice job last week, but I'm pretty sure the Jets will challenge our run defense w/Michael Carter and Breece Hall.
--The Browns run game vs Jets run defense. The Browns ran it very well last week. The Jets D bottled up the Ravens run game last week. This matchup is huge because the Browns don't want to have to rely on their passing game to win.
--Special teams battle. Given that both teams want to run the ball, field position is going to be huge.
--Turnover battle. Neither team is good enough offensively to lose the turnover battle by more than 1.
