Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold predictions vs. Bengals in Week 7
By Randy Gurzi
5. OBJ goes off
In Week 6, Odell Beckham, Jr. went off — but not in the way Browns fans would have liked. After a frustrating game, he was seen on the sidelines throwing his helmet and he even punched a cooler. Since he didn’t get enough of his anger out that way, he also took off his shoes.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski called that “normal frustration” and while that could be debatable, what’s not up for discussion is that Beckham had every right to be mad in this game.

Beckham wants nothing more than to win. He gets a bad rap but he was throwing that fit on the sideline because he was embarrassed about the way the Browns were being manhandled by the Steelers. That’s a bad sign for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Beckham has been frustrated before like this and his response was to come out and destroy the opponent — the Bengals know this because he took a poor Week 1 performance out on them in Week 1. A couple of weeks later, he did the same thing to the Dallas Cowboys as he scored three times against them.
With that being said, OBJ is picked for a huge game in this first prediction. Watch for him to be ultra-focused on making the Bengals pay for the Steelers frustrating him. This prediction is that he will cross the goal line and record at least 100-yards receiving for Cleveland.
