Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Maxx Crosby (Raiders) vs Spencer Fano (Browns) - winner: Maxx Crosby, winning 56% of reps for 3.7 sacks and 9.2 pressures a game - the disruptor that swings the pass game.
  • Ashton Jeanty (Raiders) vs Myles Harden (Browns) - winner: Myles Harden, holding him to 2.7 yds a carry - running into a wall.
  • Denzel Boston (Browns) vs Taron Johnson (Raiders) - winner: Denzel Boston, open on 61% of routes for 6.9/9.3, 76 yds a game - separation all day.
In the Trenches
  • The Browns' line should hold up: the Raiders win just 49% of their reps, mustering 5.5 sacks and 24.9 pressures a game — Maxx Crosby (3.7 sacks, 9.2 pressures a game) out front.
  • The Raiders' quarterback should have time; the Browns win just 51% of reps for 3.3 sacks a game, with Jared Verse (0.8 sacks, 4.9 pressures a game) setting the tone.
Through the Air
  • Expect the Raiders to feed Tre Tucker: 5.2 catches for 41 yds a game, open 41% of the time.
  • The Browns will live and die with Denzel Boston, who comes open 61% of the time (76 yds a game).
  • Receivers won't find much room against Denzel Ward (Browns): 37% separation allowed, good for 0.6 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • Ashton Jeanty is the workhorse for the Raiders, churning 38 yds a game at 2.7 a carry, doing his damage off right tackle against a stingy front.
  • On the ground, the Browns ride Quinshon Judkins: 12 carries, 41 yds a game (3.5 a carry), with the holes opening off right tackle.
