• Browns were as long as +3067 prior to Week 2 victory
• Slow start offensively a cause for concern
• Cleveland’s last playoff appearance was in 2002-03 

Odell Beckham Jr. finally delivered the breakout performance everyone had been waiting for.

Two games into the season, scoring has still been an issue for the Browns, who have put up 36 and allowed 46 heading into Week 3. The points against isn’t an issue, but having arguably a top three receiver in the NFL,  Cleveland should be averaging more than 18 PPG it has produced so far.

Running Game Off to Slow Start

Is there reason to worry about Cleveland’s run game as well?

Nick Chubb was able to find the end zone for the first time this season against the Jets, but the Browns’ running back rushed for less than 75 yards in the second straight game. Cleveland is averaging just 86 rushing yards per game, which is tied for the 10th fewest in the league.

Another concern is the play of quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has just two TD passes and four interceptions through two games. Mayfield, who has completed 44-of-73 attempts, has also been sacked eight times — the third most among all starting QBs.

The 2018 first overall pick entered the season with high expectations and even though it’s only two weeks into the season, Mayfield has yet to deliver.

Browns Defense Steps Up

The Browns’ defense has been the main bright spot so far this season, ranking seventh overall. Cleveland’s top five pass defense has excelled early on as well, allowing 192.5 yards per game. Only the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos have allowed fewer yards to the pass.

Whatever is ailing the Cleveland offense, the club will have to figure it out sooner than later with one of the toughest schedules in football coming up.

The Browns are back in action Week 3 against the 2-0 Los Angeles Rams and face the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens in Week 4.

Cleveland has not made the playoffs since the 2002 season when it lost to the Steelers in the AFC Wild Card game. It’s been a long road of frustration for the franchise and don’t expect that to change much this season.

If you’re looking for a +2000 long shot to come out of the AFC this season, consider betting on the Ravens before that line begins to shorten as the season moves on.
