Week 1 was not kind to either the New Orleans Saints or the Cleveland Browns. The Saints blew a 10-point halftime lead to their division rival Atlanta Falcons and lost on a 52-yard field goal after fumbling the ball away in overtime. The Browns went down big to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early going, only to rally back before falling just short. Now, the two teams will get a chance to end their miseries when they meet in Week 2.

This game is in Cleveland, but New Orleans is a 6.5-point favorite, and the Saints’ offense may be too much for the Browns, who have their own offensive issues. However, the Browns showed life in the second half against the Steelers, and if that kind of play turns over to Week 2, Mike Pettine’s team has a chance to pull off the upset. Here’s how our experts see the game playing out:
| Ryan Van Bibber | Stephen White | Joel Thorman | David Fucillo | Danny Kelly | PFT Commenter | Matt Ufford | |
| NO vs. CLE | NO | NO | NO | NO | NO | CLE | NO |
