Shedeur Sanders, the rookie quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, is about to make his first NFL start in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. After sitting on the sidelines as a backup this season, the former Colorado star finally gets his chance to lead the Browns’ offense.

This opportunity came because starting QB Dillon Gabriel got a concussion in Week 11 during the game against the Ravens. So now, Sanders has a big moment ahead, a chance to show what he’s got and possibly shake up the team’s quarterback situation.

But just as he was getting ready for this exciting milestone, something bad happened. While Sanders was out on the field making his NFL debut against the Ravens, his house in Ohio was broken into. The Medina County Sheriff’s Office said burglars stole about $200,000 worth of stuff. Surveillance cameras caught three suspects leaving from different exits around 6:58 pm, and the investigation is still ongoing.

Despite the shocking news, the 23-year-old kept his cool when talking about it. He said, “I know my house getting broken into is a big topic right now, but I’m in a mental space where not much can shake me. None of my jewelry was taken anyway... I didn’t get robbed, my house did.” Sanders also thanked fans for their concern but said he wanted to stay off his phone and focus on what’s coming next.

Putting the break-in behind him, Sanders is now zeroed in on the Week 12 game. “I’m just gonna prepare like I always do, mentally, physically, emotionally, to be the best version of myself,” he said.

It’s been a wild week for Sanders, juggling personal challenges while stepping into a huge professional moment. But come Sunday, he’s ready to bring that inner strength to the field and put in a strong performance against the Raiders.

Wilson Pick Focus: Cleveland Browns @ Las Vegas Raiders (U 36.5, -118)

This matchup profiles as one of the ugliest offensive games on the Week 12 slate — and that’s exactly why the under holds value. Cleveland and Las Vegas enter with two of the worst scoring offenses in the league, combining for just 31.7 points per game (Browns 29th, Raiders 30th). The Browns haven’t cracked 20 points in five of their last six, and with rookie Shedeur Sanders making his first NFL start behind an injury-riddled offensive line, it’s hard to expect a sudden surge. Sanders is talented, but he’s raw, and the Raiders have a recent history of feasting on inexperienced quarterbacks.

Las Vegas isn’t lighting up the scoreboard either. Geno has been serviceable, but the offense leans heavily on Tucker and Jeanty to control tempo, and that approach tends to bleed the clock. The Raiders are healthier overall, but even with that edge, this isn’t an offense built to push games into the 40s.

Historical trends point the same way. The Raiders have won five straight in this matchup, and the under is 7–2 across the last nine meetings. With both sides sitting near the bottom of the league in scoring and neither inspiring confidence against the spread, the safest angle is fading both offenses.

With the total set at 36.5, this still feels playable. Given how limited both teams are right now, a game creeping into the 40s looks unlikely. The play is the Under 36.5. Lock in this high-confidence Under pick at Bankroll U now!
