Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 3 bold predictions in Week 15
3. Raiders roll over depleted Browns squad
The Raiders have some key players missing some action this week, but this pales in comparison to that of the Cleveland Browns if their key players are not eligible by Monday. As it stands now, the Browns are fielding a team made up of a huge number of backup players.
This is basically common sense to say this will affect the team, but it must be stated nonetheless.
The Browns have been a mixed bag just like the Raiders this season, and even with a full bill of health, this game could still have been quite competitive. But when facing the obstacle of playing so many backup players in this contest, the Browns should basically have no chance at victory.
Las Vegas has done a poor job in losing games they were expected to win, but in this one, with so many star players potentially out for the Browns, the Raiders have essentially no excuse not to replicate last season’s victory in Cleveland.
