Cleveland Browns score predictions: Looking for a Texas-sized win vs. Cowboys in Week 4

Writer: Randy Gurzi

Game: Cleveland Browns (2-1) and Dallas Cowboys (1-2)

Summary: For the first time in nearly six years, the Cleveland Browns own a winning record. After making it look easy against Washington in Week 3, they have an even tougher test this coming weekend as they travel to Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys.

Don’t let the 1-2 record for Dallas fool you, this is the toughest team Cleveland has faced since Week 1 when they took on Baltimore. The Cowboys were defeated in Week 3 by the Seattle Seahawks in a close game but they still managed to drop 31 points and had nearly 500 yards passing.

It was the second week in a row Dak Prescott was about 450 yards which is less than encouraging for the Browns, who are banged up in the secondary. What is encouraging is the fact that Dallas’ defense is a dumpster fire. Seattle and Atlanta moved the ball at Will over the past two weeks and there’s no doubt that Baker Mayfield will have his share of easy completions in this one.

The ground game should also have its share of opportunities but where Cleveland can really hurt Dallas is by dumping it off to Kareem Hunt. The Cowboys are hurting at linebacker and that leads to struggles in trying to contain the running back out in the flat.

Having said all that, look for the Browns to keep this one closer than many expect. In the end, the aerial attack in Big D will be too much but Cleveland will win some doubters over still.

Prediction: Dallas 34, Cleveland 27
