Before Cleveland hosts Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 1 p.m. ET, SB Nation's three Browns prop picks all back Quinshon Judkins: first touchdown scorer (+500), most rushing yards (+130) and over 59.5 rushing yards (-113). Cleveland is a 2.5-point underdog, per FanDuel.
The +500 wager requires Judkins to score the game's first touchdown, not just any touchdown. The writer cites Carolina's run defense being gashed in its first two games and Cleveland's tendency to take the opening possession, but notes the Browns have historically struggled to score in first halves under Deshaun Watson. The most-rushing-yards pick pits Judkins against Carolina's Chuba Hubbard, with the writer's premise that Judkins could approach 100 yards; the article says Watson has led Cleveland in rushing this season.
The writer says two of last week's three picks hit: Harold Fannin over 36 receiving yards (he had 54) and Deshaun Watson over 176 passing yards (238). The Raheim Sanders over 9 rushing yards pick missed; he finished with four.
