Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: Game preview and prediction

Game Prediction

This is going to be a classic shootout on Sunday, as the Raiders and Browns do lot of good things on offense, and a lot of bad things on defense. It will be which team finally steps up and gets a stop that will eventually come away with the victory here, and that is a scary predicament for both teams.

Las Vegas is finally getting their full compliment of starters back, and while the loss of OBJ did not hurt the Browns last weekend, they will feel his loss in Week 8. The Raiders have one good cornerback who can stop Jarvis Landry, and with Johnathan Abram returning, the secondary should play much better than they did a week ago.

I like this one to go down to the wire, with the Raiders scoring late, and holding on for a huge three-point victory on the road. The weather will be a factor, so that is something to keep an eye on, but in a season where Derek Carr has exceeded expectations, he puts the team on his back for win No. 4.

Prediction: Raiders 31, Browns 28
