Don't miss this Week 2 NFL game when the Browns visit the Buccaneers. This matchup has a special significance, as Cleveland years ago passed on Baker Mayfield as their first-choice quarterback, a decision that ultimately backfired. Mayfield will start for Tampa Bay on Sunday, while Deshaun Watson will remain the Browns' starting quarterback.
The Browns enter Week 2 after a tough debut: a 10-34 loss to the Jaguars, in which Cleveland trailed 31-0 at one point. The Browns' offense struggled to maintain possession, committing 11 penalties and turning the ball over twice.
But the Buccaneers also had a rough start, falling 27-33 to the Bengals in a game marred by turnovers. They lost possession four times, three of those on fumbles by Mayfield.

Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Cleveland Browns Prediction
Mayfield is coming off a game with the Buccaneers in which he achieved a high passing percentage, racking up 216 yards, but his three turnovers proved costly.
Even so, the Buccaneers are the clear favorites in the pregame odds to beat the Browns, and this seems to make sense, as Watson, Cleveland's starting QB, has a career record of 1-7.
Our prediction for Buccaneers vs Browns is: Buccaneers -8.5.
