Stephen Nover's NFL Preseason Game of the Year
(NFL) NY Giants vs. Cleveland, 08/22/2021 1:00 PM, Score: 13 - 17
Point Spread: 4.50 | -108.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Win
The Browns don't care about this game. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski will be playing very few of his starters and the ones who get into the game will see little action. 

The Giants don't have that luxury. Daniel Jones needs the game action to get into sync. While Saquon Barkley and Kenney Golladay aren't going to play, Jones will have a number of other weapons. The Browns' best defensive backs are not healthy and won't be playing. 

The edge is going to be with the Giants as far as number of starters playing. That's a big edge especially when Stefanski's top priority isn't winning the game. 

The teams have conducted scrimmages and practices against each other the past four days. During this time, Giants wide receiver Sterling Shephard has been a star against Cleveland's decimated secondary. 

The person who could take this game the most personally is Giants safety Jabrill Peppers, who played for the Browns before coming to New York. He was extremely animated during the scrimmages.
