Cleveland Browns vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Final

NFL

23 — 19

DateSeptember 20, 2026

VenueRaymond James Stadium

CLE 43%

vs

TB 53%

Tie 4%

Tampa Bay is my lean in a close matchup, with home field and the more efficient opening-game passing profile nudging the Buccaneers ahead. Baker Mayfield led TB to 216 passing yards on 23-of-28 passing with no interception, while Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson had 205 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 16-of-22. The broader 2025 numbers also favor TB’s offense: 22.4 points and 220.9 passing yards per game, compared with Cleveland’s 16.4 points and 184.8 passing yards. Still, the margin is limited. Both teams opened 0-1, and TB allowed 33 points in its opener while Cleveland allowed 34. Cleveland also has Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah listed out, while several TB players remain questionable. I expect TB to edge it, but a tie remains plausible.
