Sharpe expects Joe Flacco to open the season as Cleveland's starter over Dylan Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, thinks Deshaun Watson won't play in 2025, ranks the Browns behind Cincinnati and Baltimore in the AFC North, and predicts Kyle Pitts will be gone from Atlanta after another poor season. He also picks OKC as favorites over Indiana in the NBA Finals.
