Browns at Colts 8/17/19 - NFL Preseason Picks & Predictions

The Cleveland Browns visit Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday to play the Indianapolis Colts in an NFL preseason Week 2 matchup. The Browns defeated the Washington Redskins 30-10 in their Week 1 preseason game. Baker Mayfield threw one touchdown pass in the only series he played, while Odell Beckham Jr. did not play. The Browns showed how much offensive firepower they possess in the 20-point win.

The Colts were 24-16 losers in their opening game of the preseason against the Buffalo Bills. The Colts offense struggled as most of the starters did not play including star quarterback Andrew Luck, who has a slight calf strain. Backup QB Jacoby Brissett threw for 21 yards in the three series he appeared, with both of his completions to free agent signee Devin Funchess. Garrett Gilbert leads the Browns in passing with 135 yards, while Baker Mayfield has thrown for 77 yards and one touchdown. D’Ernest Johnson is the leading rusher for the Browns with 23 yards, while Rashard Higgins leads all receivers with five receptions for 98 yards and one touchdown.

Chad Kelly leads all Indy quarterbacks with 121 yards passing, while Phillip Walker has thrown for 85 yards and one interception. Chad Kelly also leads all rushers for the Colts with 53 yards on four carries with one touchdown. The leading receiver is Jonathan Williams with five receptions for 33 yards.

Take the UNDER in this matchup. Both teams will use starters sparingly in their Week 2 showdown as they will wait to play their starters for most of their Week 3 games. The UNDER has cashed in 15 of the Colts last 21 at home and 11 of Indy’s last 14 on Saturday. The Browns have seen the UNDER cash in 4 of the last 5 played on Saturday. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Browns win, but our best play is UNDER 24-17.
