In this article we will formulate a Browns vs Bills prediction for this NFL game on Saturday, August 22nd at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this preseason matchup.
Cleveland Browns Betting Preview
The Cleveland Browns are 0-1 this preseason after they lost to the Bears by a score of 34-10 last week. Cleveland led 10-0 in the second quarter, but they allowed the last 34 points for the ugly loss. The Browns were out gained by a total of 430-314, went 6-17 on third downs, and lost the turnover battle by a total of 3-1 in the game. Deshaun Watson threw for 126 yards, while Shedeur Sanders threw for 79 yards and one interception. Davon Booth rushed four times for 53 yards, while Dylan Sampson caught two passes for 43 yards in the game.
Last season, Cleveland went 3-0 in the preseason, which was tied for first in the AFC North with the Ravens. The Browns defeated the Panthers by a score of 30-10, defeated the Eagles 22-13, and defeated the Rams 19-17 in their three preseason games. Cleveland will start Shedeur Sanders at quarterback in the first half, while Deshaun Watson will play the third quarter and Dillon Gabriel will finish the fourth.
Buffalo Bills Betting Preview
The Buffalo Bills are 1-0 this preseason after they defeated the Panthers by a score of 29-14 last week. Buffalo led 13-7 at halftime and they scored the first 16 points in the second half in the easy win. The Bills out gained Carolina by a total of 396-201, went 1-7 on third downs, and won the turnover battle by a total of 1-0 in the game. Josh Allen threw for 111 yards and one touchdown, while Kyle Allen threw for 108 yards. Ian Wheeler rushed seven times for 41 yards and one touchdown, while DJ Moore caught three passes for 61 yards in the game.
Last year, Buffalo went 1-2 in the preseason, which was tied for third in the AFC East with the Jets. The Bills lost to the Giants by a score of 34-25, lost to the Bears by a score of 38-0, and defeated the Bucs 23-19 in their three preseason games. Buffalo will rest most of their starters for this one, so we won’t see Josh Allen. The Bills will start Kyle Allen in the first half and Shane Buechele will get the second half at the quarterback spot.
Browns vs Bills Prediction
Cleveland comes into this matchup with a quarterback battle between Watson and Sanders, but that didn’t help them in week one, as they played very poorly. The Browns lost 34-10 to the Bears, so they will look for a better effort here. Buffalo picked up a win over the Panthers, but won’t play their starters here. I like Kyle Allen at the QB spot, but I don’t love Buechele, so I will side with the Browns here.
