Jacksonville Jaguars

FanDuel Price: $5,600
numberFire Projection: 13.69 FanDuel points

This one is pretty obvious. Per numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the league's top-ranked defense and the Cleveland Browns are the seventh-worst offense. Even though the Jags are on the road, they carry as much upside as any team on the slate, and their performance through 10 weeks shows they're consistently a top-scoring unit.

The Jaguars lead the league in sacks (35), rank third in quarterback hits (69), and second in turnovers forced (18), all key statistical categories that we look for in choosing a defense. They now get to square off against a Browns' offensive line that has allowed the ninth-most sacks (27) and fourth-most quarterback hits (74).

DeShone Kizer is once again under center, and although Kizer has played better since his Week 6 benching, the rookie quarterback has still committed three turnovers and taken four sacks over his last three games. The last three defenses to face the Browns have finished 7th, 11th, and 3rd in weekly scoring on FanDuel. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have finished as a top-five option in six of nine games this season.

Vegas oddsmakers have the Jaguars as a 7.5-point favorite, which is the second-largest spread on the week, while the Browns' 15-point implied team total is the lowest on the week. With an elite defense against a turnover-prone quarterback, the Jaguars are a top play.
