Cleveland Browns (0-0) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0)
NFL Week 1 Preview, Prediction: Cleveland Browns Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
When: 1:00 p.m. Sunday, CBS
SB Nation Browns: Dawgs By Nature
SB Nation Buccaneers: Bucs Nation
Breakdown: The Browns and Bucs were two of the worst NFL teams in 2009. At least one of them will start 1-0 on Sunday afternoon in Tampa, FL. The Browns are sending out Jake Delhomme in his first season as the starter for the Browns and the Bucs will be sending out Josh Freeman, who missed much of the preseason with an injury. Delhomme has been turnover prone in recent games while Freeman, in his second year as a starter, is just starting to get his feet under him.
Player to Watch: Josh Freeman will be an important player to watch in this game. He didn’t get as much practice time as he would have liked after an injury in the second game of the preseason knocked him out but he’s the Bucs future and is going against a team that they need to beat if they feel they can win in 2010.
Line: Bucs are three-point favorites.
Prediction: This is a tough game to predict because both teams had so many problems in 2009 it’s hard to find a strength. In a tight game, we’ll give the nod to the veteran quarterback-led Browns.
