Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold predictions vs. Bengals in Week 7

Bold predictions for the Cleveland Browns in Week 7
Week 6 was one to forget for the Cleveland Browns. They had won four in a row as they knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Football Team, Dallas Cowboys, and Indianapolis Colts. Those four wins made us all forget about the way they were picked apart in Week 1 by the Baltimore Ravens, that is until they played the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That game not only ended their winning streak, but it also reminded us of their opening weekend loss. Baker Mayfield struggled with his decision-making and had an early interception that proved costly. The running game was also off its game and the defense struggled mightily — although the offense did them no favors with turnovers and quick three-and-outs.
Another way this game was similar was the fact that they went back to the drawing board after the loss with a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on the docket. Week 2 was that first meeting and the Browns ended up winning that one by a score of 35-30, although it wasn’t as close as that score made it seem.
Cleveland won that one and was convincing in doing so. Mayfield played well, as did Odell Beckham. Jr. Myles Garrett also stood out in the win, silencing the foolish “where’s Myles” questions that had been floated around social media.
So now, just like the Browns, we too move onto the next week and begin to focus on the Browns in-state rivals as we pick five bold predictions for Cleveland in Week 7 against Cincinnati.
