Week 10 vs. Houston Texans

After the bye week, the Cleveland Browns will host the Houston Texans and this game seemed much more daunting when the season kicked off. Houston was 10-6 last season and entered 2020 as a favorite to repeat in the AFC South. That hasn’t happened though as they enter Week 9 with a record of 1-6.

Houston has also undergone a lot of changes as they fired head coach Bill O’Brien and replaced him with former Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel on an interim basis. They have one win under Crennel but they still are a team struggling to find their footing.

With an extra week to plan for them, don’t be surprised to see Kevin Stefanski and the Browns come out and score an impressive win.

Cleveland 33, Houston 21
Record: 6-3

Week 11 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Another team that hasn’t been nearly as good as expected is the Philadelphia Eagles. Entering this season, the Eagles were set to defend their NFC East title and while they are in first place entering the weekend, they have a record of just 3-4-1. That also had a tough time beating the Dallas Cowboys who were down to their third-string quarterback.

Critics can say what they want about Baker Mayfield but he’s much more of a threat than Ben DiNucci. On top of that, if the porous Dallas defense was able to force four turnovers out of Carson Wentz, the opportunistic Browns defenders will surely be able to do the same.

Record: 7-3
