Take a look at our thoughts on the upcoming Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns game on Sunday, September 8th at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Ohio. Let's see what we predict for this exciting week one match-up!
The Dallas Cowboys Team Preview
The Dallas Cowboys went 12-5 last season and they finished first in the NFC East standings. Dallas started the season with a 5-3 record through their first eight games, but they went 7-2 in their last nine regular season games to win the division. Dallas had a home-field advantage in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, but they lost by a score of 48-32 against the Packers, which was a very disappointing end to the season. The Dallas offense scored 29.9 points per game, while the defense allowed 18.5 points per game.
So, Dallas played three games in the preseason, right? They started off with a close 13-12 loss against the Rams. But then they turned things around and snagged a solid 27-12 victory over the Raiders in the next game. Unfortunately, they couldn't keep the streak going and fell short against the Chargers, losing 26-19 in the final match. This year, they've got Dak Prescott back leading the team after his impressive 2023 season. Ezekiel Elliott will be the starting running back, even though he's not as hot as last season. Good news, though - Lamb's contract issue got sorted, so he and Cooks will be the top wide receivers for the Cowboys.

The Cleveland Browns Team Preview
The Cleveland Browns went 11-6 last year and they finished second in the AFC North behind Baltimore. Cleveland was 4-3 through their first seven games, but they went 7-3 in their last 10 regular season games to clinch a wild card spot. The Browns had to go on the road to play Houston in the Wild Card round, where they lost by a score of 45-14. Cleveland had to deal with an injury to Watson last season, so they also started Flacco, Thompson-Robinson, Walker, and Driskel, but Flacco was able to produce very well for them.
Cleveland didn't do so hot in the preseason, losing all three games. They kicked things off with a 23-10 defeat against Green Bay, then got beat by the Vikings 27-12, and wrapped it up with a close 37-33 loss to the Seahawks. Deshaun Watson will be leading the charge for the Browns in this game, and he really needs to step up his game this season if Cleveland wants a shot at the playoffs. With Chubb still sidelined, the Browns will be mixing it up at the running back position. The wide receivers look solid, but the big question is whether Watson can consistently connect with his targets.

The Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns
Game Prediction
The Pick : Dallas Cowboys +3.5
The Prop : Jake Ferguson over Receiving yards
This Dallas team is always expected to exceed expectations and this season is no different. They will be aiming to mirror their impressive performance in the 2023 regular season. Despite winning the NFC East last season, the Cowboys faced a disappointing defeat in their only playoff game at home. Cleveland demonstrated resilience by securing a playoff spot with numerous injuries, and now they look for a standout season from Watson. While the upcoming game is anticipated to be highly competitive, my confidence in Watson remains questionable at best. I'm sure Dallas offense is expected to shine once more this season, making them my choice to cover the points in this matchup.
