Overview
- The 2-8 Browns visit the 2-8 Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS).
- Rookie Shedeur Sanders was named Cleveland’s starter with Dillon Gabriel in concussion protocol after last week’s injury; Sanders went 4 of 16 for 47 yards with an interception in relief.
- Books moved the spread from Raiders -3 to about -4 as professionals faded Sanders, and the consensus total dipped to roughly 36 with bettors heavily backing the under.
- Ticket counts lean slightly to Cleveland in some spots, but sportsbooks report more money landing on Las Vegas as kickoff approaches.
- Las Vegas activated Aidan O’Connell to back up Geno Smith, and local analysis notes a win could dent the Raiders’ projected draft slot, heightening the morale-versus-draft calculus.
