Jaguars vs Browns: Betting preview and how to watch on Saturday

The Jacksonville Jaguars will face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL preseason. Here are 

You could argue that watching a preseason game isn’t as thrilling as watching one in the regular season because whether you win or lose, it won’t be reflected on the standings. Nevertheless, it gives several players the chance to get meaningful playing time in order to solidify their roster spot. For others, it will be one of their only opportunity to make a positive impression before the first round of cuts.

For the Jacksonville Jaguars, it represents another step forward in their rebuild. Head coach Urban Meyer and general manager Trent Baalke have spent the last few months making significant upgrades to their roster. The first game of the preseason will give the Jags the chance to show see much they have improved. It will also give quarterback Trevor Lawrence an opportunity to showcase the skills that made him the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told the local media that quarterback Baker Mayfield won’t be suiting up Saturday. That leaves Case Keenum as the most likely starter and Kyle Lauretta as the number two. Meyer met with Jaguars players last Thursday and told them he expects a clean game and a winning attitude. Saturday’s game will give Jacksonville the chance to build chemistry and work out the kinks ahead of the regular season.
