4 reasons the Las Vegas Raiders will beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 8
Browns without Nick Chubb, Odell Beckham Jr.
Even with all of their star players, the Browns offense has been about as efficient as the Raiders, but against lower levels of competition. Now, the Browns will be without arguably their two best weapons on offense, Nick Chubb and Odell Beckham Jr.
The Raiders defense is arguably one of the worst in the league, so the Browns being without these two players is huge. The Browns will still have running back Kareem Hunt, who will likely have a big game against Las Vegas, and Jarvis Landry, who is a great receiver, but will struggle without OBJ on the other side.
Although the Raiders will likely still give up a lot of points, they will give up less big plays not having to worry about OBJ being wide open down the field, which could be the difference in a game that will likely be very close. Remember, the Raiders defense played great in the second half of the Chiefs game, and is getting Johnathan Abram back, which is another huge factor in this one.
