Predictions for the Cleveland Browns Monday night game against San Francisco
By Randy Gurzi
Writer: Randy Gurzi
Game: Cleveland Browns (2-2) at San Francisco 49ers (3-0)
Summary: On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns put together their most complete game of the season in their 40-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens. It was an impressive win as they were sharp on both sides of the ball. They not only moved the ball when needed, and finished off drives with touchdowns, but they also kept Lamar Jackson under wraps for the majority of the game.
Most importantly, the win put them in first place as they’re now tied with Baltimore but the head-to-head win gives them the edge. Now, they have an extra day to prepare for Week 5 as they will be in their second Monday Night Football game of the season.
This time, they head to California, where they will square off with the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners, who are coached by a former Cleveland offensive coordinator in Kyle Shanahan, enter the week 3-0 as they’re off to a hot start.
Cleveland is 2-0 on the road and will try and cool this team off, and they’re built to do just that. San Francisco’s secondary still has some holes and the way Baker Mayfield is getting the ball out quickly will help limit the Niners D-line pressure.
Look for OBJ to have a bounce-back game after being slowed by the Ravens and expect Nick Chubb to continue to bowl over opponents en route to another victory for the road dawgs.
Prediction: Cleveland 34, San Franciso 21
