Top NFL preseason predictions for Week 2 on Saturday
One of Severance’s strongest Week 2 NFL picks for Saturday is Browns (-2.5) over Bills, as Cleveland is in the midst of a quarterback competition.
Second-year veterans Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, along with rookie Taylen Green are battling 10th-year veteran Deshaun Watson to be the Browns’ starting quarterback.
“It sounds like it’s backups for the Bills, while Cleveland has a quarterback competition ongoing between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, which to me is like being forced to choose to listen to either that old AOL sign-on screech or nails on a chalkboard,” Severance said. “Sanders apparently will play the first half, Watson the third and then Dillon Gabriel the fourth.” See which other teams to pick here.
