Ashley Bastock (0:0; 0:0): Browns 28, Cowboys 21

The Browns offense hasn't really gotten going yet, but I trust this team more than Dallas – especially given the Browns' defense and their home performance last year.

Mary Kay Cabot (0-0 overall; 0-0 against the spread): Browns 33, Cowboys 31*

The Browns christen the newly named Huntington Bank Field with a last-minute victory and start the 2024 season off right.

Dan Labbe (0-0; 0-0): Browns 22*, Cowboys 17

Both sides seem a bit rusty, but the Browns will use their defense to get a win in week one.

Jimmy Watkins (0-0; 0-0): Browns 17*, Cowboys 14

Tough, ugly football. Joy for Browns fans, pain for fantasy football players.
