Browns vs. Buccaneers Odds NFL Picks Week 1: A couple of rebuilding AFC teams will square off in NFL week 1 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Cleveland Browns at 1 PM ET. New Browns GM Mike Holgrem is overhauling a Browns team that labored through a 5-11 season but finished strong with four straight victories. Tampa Bay suffered through an embarrassing 3-13 season as everything that could go wrong went wrong in Raheem Morris’s inaugural season as head coach. Below is a winning free sports picks play on this AFC match-up from our NFL picks team of experts.
 

Matchup/Talent: Tampa Bay’s strengths play into Cleveland’s weaknesses. The Browns modest running attack will have a difficult time rushing the ball against a Tampa Bay team that added some serious beef in the middle this off-season. The Bucs however should have no problem running the ball against a Browns run defense that has a big donut hole in the middle with the suspension of their best defensive player in DT Shaun Rodgers. The Browns will try to play smash-mouth football under new head coach Eric Mangini but they have limited firepower if they have to come from behind throwing the ball. The Cleveland Browns vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Betting Odds Total is at 37.0 ponts.

Injuries/Schedule/Turnovers/Sacks/Venue/Weather: Cleveland has a decent pass-rush but Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has some wheels to buy time and burn some suspect Browns pass defenders with his arm. The Browns have interception machine Jake Delhomme as their QB and the strength of the Bucs defense is an opportunistic secondary that could grab some picks. The Cleveland snowbirds could also feel the effects of the Florida heat late in this game. Tampa Bay starting CB Aquib Talib will miss the game with a suspension but Cleveland doesn't have much at wideout. Cleveland lost rookie #2 RB Montario Hardesty for the season in camp.

Coaching/Special Teams: Tampa Bay should be an improved team this season in head coach Raheem Morris’s second year as an NFL coach. The Browns have a sweapon in returner Josh Cribbs. Cleveland was already limited to begin with and now has a whole new coaching staff, so their will be an adjustment period.
