While Cleveland may enter their bye week with a winning record , they are already a strong underdog for Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars .
A few games on the schedule changed difficulty based on the order things were laid out, with the Browns having some interesting quarterbacks ahead in 2026 . If Vegas betting lines are to be believed, courtesy of Yahoo Sports , Cleveland fans should not be expecting many wins. The Browns are currently only favored twice this season: Week 1 vs Jacksonville: Jags by 7.
5 Week 2 vs Tampa Bay: Bucs by 5. 5 Week 3 vs Carolina: Panthers by 1. 5 Week 4 vs Pittsburgh: Steelers by 2.
5 Week 5 vs New York: Jets by 1. 5 Week 6 vs Baltimore: Ravens by 6. 5 Week 7 vs Tennessee: Titans by 2.
