The Cleveland Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. It’s the first career start for Shedeur Sanders, so this is either going to be wondrous or a complete turkey.

Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 12 game between the Browns and Raiders:

CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) – Browns 20, Raiders 17

This will be Shedeur Sanders making his first start for the Browns. The good news is he’s facing a Raiders team that struggles against the pass. The Raiders offense has issues protecting Geno Smith as well, which could be setting up a big day for Myles Garrett. The Browns will win a low-scoring game.

Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) – Raiders 16, Browns 10

The Browns might need to start one time Raiders’ draft prospect of note Shedeur Sanders at QB, which is a great thing. … for the Raiders. Myles Garrett and Cleveland’s defense falls to earth on the road, while Maxx Crosby and his teammates will like teeing off on a overwhelmed rookie, whether it’s Sanders or Dillon Gabriel.

Will Shedeur Sanders start? That’s one of the burning questions for two teams that rank in the bottom five in scoring offense. Myles Garrett — who had four sacks in Week 10 — and Maxx Crosby – who has heated up at home – are going to be key players in what should be an ugly matchup. The Raiders are 3-0 S/U against the Browns since moving to Las Vegas.
