Rams vs. Browns Predictions For NFL Preseason Week 3, Saturday 8/23

Since the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders has stolen the spotlight, especially as the Browns began to take the field. However, since his fantastic showing in Week 1 of the NFL preseason, we saw him miss Week 2 with an injury, and 40-year-old Joe Flacco was named as the starter.

Similarly, there have been plenty of headlines swirling around 37-year-old Matthew Stafford due to his back injury being the most lingering issue of the preseason. While he’s finally returned to practicing, it’s now an injury that has more and more fans and analysts alike concerned, especially given how back injuries can nag players throughout a season.

With all that in mind, do we expect Stafford vs. Flacco to be the focus of Rams vs. Browns predictions? Not so much, so we’ll proceed with caution, as we should for any NFL preseason Week 3 matchup. Even still, we’re here to help you lock in your Rams vs. Browns picks! 
 

 

 

Rams vs. Browns Best Bet: Over 39.5 Points (-110 At Rebet)

If we’re not expecting Stafford vs. Flacco to be the focus of things, why do the Rams vs. Browns odds have Cleveland so heavily favored? Well, they’re expected to indeed start Flacco, but it may be for an extremely short time.

The phrase that the team is using is a “dress rehearsal,” which is quite normal for the final week of the preseason. While that, combined with the lack of Stafford, may very well lead to a Browns victory, we’re not in the business of backing Cleveland to win by a touchdown in the preseason, or frankly, in any scenario right now.

Instead, we’re just going to be cheering for points. After all, isn't that the most fun way to watch NFL games that don’t matter? Of course, we also see value, not just fun. The Browns closed out their preseason in the same way last season, with a 37-33 shootout (loss), and they still have far more to figure out in the QB room this year.

Flacco may be the starter, but they still aren’t going to have five QBs on the roster come Week 1 (right?). As they’ve tried to figure that out this year, they’ve averaged 26 points per game in the preseason. Even without Stafford, the Rams have averaged 27 points per game, not to mention that they’ve allowed 21+ points in both games.

Each of those numbers above has us locking in over 39.5 points (-110 at Rebet) as the best bet from our Rams vs. Browns predictions!
