As the 2023 NFL preseason approaches, all eyes are on the first clash of these warm-up games between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets.
This showdown promises to be exciting, as both teams have made significant changes to their squads during the offseason and are eager to prove themselves on the field.
In addition, both teams also have as their main objective to improve, to the best and greatest extent, their performance from the previous season since neither was able to qualify for the playoffs. Neither the Browns nor the Jets came close to qualifying for the Wild Card.
That is why this first preseason game can serve as a thermometer of what we could see in the regular season, which will kick off in the first week of September.
With only a few weeks in training, both teams arrive firmly convinced that their new players will get their first taste of game-day culture at the club. Also, as mentioned, this first game will serve as a first taste of three for players struggling to make an impression on the coaches during practice and are considered to be on the roster bubble.

Why Bet on the Browns?
While it is true that the Browns are coming into the preseason with a lot of confidence, it should not be forgotten that last season they finished in last place in the AFC North with a record of 7-10. In the 22-23 edition, their Achilles heel was their away games, as they won only 3 of the 9 they played.
Now, Cleveland intends to completely change this situation to be a competitive team and, at least, qualify for the postseason.
On the other hand, it is also worth mentioning that the spotlight is on Cedric Tilman, a young receiver selected in the 3rd round of the Draft who will have his first opportunity as a professional in the NFL. He was complemented with a couple of signings in recent months.
Why Bet on the Jets?
On the other hand, we have the New York Jets, another team that did not have a good season and that, like the Browns, finished in last place in the AFC East with a 7-10 record. However, unlike Cleveland, the team from the Big Apple had many problems playing at home, something very rare in the NFL since they only won three games out of the eight they played.
The Jets are preparing for this new season, but they will be playing with their reserve players. In a recent press conference, Robert Salah, the current coach of the Jets, said that none of his starters will play in this game against the Browns.
However, the one who will play is Zach Wilson, the team’s backup QB, as the coach wants him to have a good season after two consecutive disappointing years. Their summer incorporations limit to Adrian Amos, while their most important signing was QB Aaron Rodgers.
Final Betting Analysis: Browns vs. Jets
In the last 29 games played between these two teams, there is an almost absolute parity in the results obtained since the Browns have won 15 times, while the Jets have won 14 times. However, they last met on September 18, 2023, when the Jets won 31-30.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors the Browns at -123, while the Jets start at -104.
For this game, we expect the Browns to take advantage of the fact that they will play against a reserve team (Jets), and come away with the victory.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Browns. If you put $100 on the Browns at -123, you’ll see a $81.30 win with a total payout of $181.30.
