Game: Indianapolis Colts (3-1) at Cleveland Browns (3-1)

Summary: There weren’t too many people out there who were picking the Browns to beat the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, but that didn’t matter. The good guys in orange and brown weren’t afraid of the high-profile Cowboys who came into Week 4 with a lot of stats but not much substance.

Cleveland was on fire from the start and ended up dropping 49 points thanks to. 307 combined rushing yards. There was also the matter of Odell Beckham, Jr. scoring three touchdowns, including a 50-yard run to ice the game.

Now, the Browns head back home to host the Indianapolis Colts, who also own a 3-1 record. And the Colts have been winning thanks to the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL. They enter this week giving up just 14 points per contest, but their offense leaves a lot to be desired as they have scored just 25.8 points per game, which is 18th in the league.

Look for Cleveland to try and control the clock again with the ground game, which is still strong even without Nick Chubb. Kareem Hunt will find his running room and the defense will bend, but will also create turnovers as they have been doing. In the end, it will be enough for a wonderful 4-1 start for Cleveland.

Prediction: Cleveland 28, Indianapolis 20
