4. The RB duo go for 100 yards from scrimmage each

One good sign from the Browns offense over the past two weeks is the way they’ve utilized both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.After serving an eight-game suspension, Hunt made his way back to the field and has been a change of pace back behind the bruiser Chubb.

This is working well as Chubb had 116 yards rushing and five receiving in Week 10 whereas Hunt added 30 yards on the ground and 74 as a receiver.

In Week 11, Chubb was good for another 92 yards rushing but had no receptions. Hunt struggled in the run game this time netting only 12 yards on six carries but added six receptions for 46 yards.

This week, these two will be going against a bad defense in Miami. According to NFL.com, they rank 31st in points surrendered (30.5) and 31st in rushing yardage (148.3). They’re better against the pass but still just 20th with 246 yards per game given up.

That plays right into the hands of these two backs. Chubb should run early and often while Hunt will continue to be a great receiving option, especially on third downs. The Browns could also make this one look easy, which would allow them to get Hunt even more carries.

This bold prediction is that the two backs will each top 100 total yards from scrimmage as they find plenty of holes in the Dolphins defense to exploit.
