Dallas @ Cleveland
Team Totals: Browns 21.5, Cowboys 19.5
I took the under on this game’s 41-point total in a battle between teams whose defenses both have mismatch advantages over the enemy offense. The Cowboys are trotting out rookies at left tackle and center; first-round LT Tyler Guyton, a right tackle only in college, will open his career trying to block 2023 Defensive POY Myles Garrett, while third-round C Cooper Beebe hardly played center at Kansas State. Dallas is dangerously thin throughout its skill-position corps. No longer a dynamic runner, Dak Prescott does not warrant QB1 treatment at Cleveland. … HC Mike McCarthy indicated toward the end of camp that Rico Dowdle would lead a backfield committee also involving washed plodder Ezekiel Elliott and 5-foot-5, 179-pound Deuce Vaughn. A fifth-year UDFA who operated as a committee back in his four-year college career at South Carolina and has earned just 113 touches through four NFL seasons, Dowdle is best treated as a low-floor RB3/flex option here.
