The NFL Wants to Punish Deshaun Watson. Can the Cleveland Browns (+300) Win the AFC North Without Him? Plus: Betting the NFL Preseason

We all know the Deshaun Watson stuff is weird and creepy. But the Cleveland Browns are still going to suit up for 17 NFL games this season, with or without him available to play quarterback. And here's the thing... while we've all been concentrating on the (obviously horrible) Watson news, we seem to have forgotten something that's been in front of our faces now for 2+ years -- the Browns are actually pretty good. Sure, Baker Mayfield tore his labrum in the middle of last season, but beyond that, the Browns have a top-5 offensive line, a genuinely good head coach, good skill guys, and arguably the best pass rusher in the league. They've also got a schedule that should give them six or seven easy wins, regardless of who hands the ball off to the running back.This week on The Lion's Edge, Chase makes a compelling case for betting the cast-offs of the AFC North: Cleveland (+300) and Pittsburgh (+900).
