T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns.

I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Monday. Both of these teams have covid running through them lately and a lot of star players from both sides are going to miss this game. The Browns will have QB Nick Mullens starting here but he has had some success with the 49ers as a backup in recent years so I think that he will not be terrible in this game and keep them in it with a chance to win it. They will still have Nick Chubb playing and I think that they are going to lean heavily on him to carry the load in this game. The Raiders are not healthy either, Carr is playing in this game but he will be missing 1 of their best weapons in Darren Waller and their running game is not that strong to lean on either. They also have a lot of key defensive players on their covid list and their defense has already looked bad in quite a few games this year with those players playing. I think this is going to be a more boring game since a lot of the star players are out and I think the Browns are going to play well with Mullens at QB and I think their running game is going to win this game for them at home here. With this game being rescheduled to Tuesday there is a chance that some of the starters are back for both teams but either way I think the browns are better and getting their starters back will only strengthen my decision to back them here. I like the Browns to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Browns.
