The Cleveland Browns will look to win a Week 1 game for the first time since 2004 when they face the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Since beating the Ravens in the season opener 18 years ago, the Browns are 0-16-1 in Week 1. In the first game of this year, they will face former Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is now leaving for the Panthers. Carolina is favored by two runs in Caesars Sportsbook’s latest NFL odds, while the over/under for total runs scored is 41.5. The game is one of 16 on a busy Week 1 NFL schedule. Other key NFL matchups include defending Super Bowl champion Rams hosting the Bills in the 2022 NFL Kickoff Game and Broncos’ Russell Wilson returning to Seattle to face his former team, the Seahawks.
