What can we expect from Sanders' starting debut? Here's what the odds say

Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL regular-season start for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Dillon Gabriel remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, putting Sanders in line to face the Las Vegas Raiders.

It has been a long, interesting road to this moment for Sanders, who made his debut in the second half of Sunday's 23-16 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens after Gabriel was injured. Sanders completed his first two passes but finished just 4-of-16 passing for 47 yards and an interception. He was also sacked twice.

Sanders, projected by many to be a first-round pick in last April's draft, fell to Day 3, where the Browns traded up to select him in the fifth round with their seventh and final pick. Sanders entered training camp buried on the depth chart behind Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, the latter two having since been traded.

Sunday, he'll take the field as a starter. The Browns are 4-point underdogs on the road against the Raiders in a game with the lowest total points over/under of the week (36.5).
