Week 12 at Jacksonville Jaguars

A third struggling team in a row comes up on the Browns schedule — as they have one of the easier remaining stretches of games in the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars are 1-6 and with Jake Luton replacing an injured Gardner Minshew, they won’t be improving anytime soon.

Having said that, even if Minshew is back for this game, it won’t matter. Jacksonville struggles in every facet of the game and their defense has been even worse than what Cleveland has been trotting out. After seven games, they have surrendered 31.6 points per game which is second-worst in the NFL according to ESPN.com.

Look for Cleveland to have a field day as their running backs get a lot of carries thanks to this one being put away in the third quarter. It’s a third-straight win and they need to take all three of these games since there are two tough opponents coming up back-to-back.

Cleveland 38, Jacksonville 16
Record: 8-3

Week 13 at Tennessee Titans

It wasn’t that long ago that the Tennessee Titans were 5-0 and looking like a dominant force in the AFC. Then, they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers which was forgivable. What was less understandable was what happened in Week 8. That was when they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 31-20.

Cincy proved that Tennessee is beatable and while the Browns swept the Bengals, that doesn;t mean they will score the win here. This is simply a bad matchup for Cleveland as they drop their first game after the bye week. Still, an 8-4 record at this point is absolutely fantastic for them as they stay in the race for a Wild Card spot.

Tennessee 27, Cleveland 14
Record: 8-4
