Game: Los Angeles Rams at Cleveland Browns

Summary: It’s another primetime game as the Cleveland Browns host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. This comes after their Monday Night Football victory over the New York Jets. In that game, the Browns won easily as they ended up with a 23-3 victory. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all great as there were some frustrating plays which included bad blocking and frustrating penalties.

Against the Rams, they simply can’t do this. L.A. may have fallen short against the New England Patriots but they were still the NFC representative in the biggest game of the year. They’re also off to a 2-0 start with wins against the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.

This will serve as a great litmus test for the Browns who are still trying to find their identity. The good news is, their defense has been playing well and should be able to keep them in this game — so at least we won’t see a blowout as we did against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.

Having said that, this one will probably go to the home team mainly because there’s no one on the line who can keep Aaron Donald from harassing Baker Mayfield.

They keep it close, but the Rams find a way to get to 3-0. At least Cleveland can prove they’re able to hang with the big teams though.

Prediction: Los Angeles 27, Cleveland 20
