Week 15 vs. Raiders – Dec. 18 or 19

After losing a tough game to the Raiders at home last season in the rain, this will be a huge revenge game for the Browns. While the Browns are one of the most improved teams this offseason, many are questioning what the front office of the Raiders is doing.

Derek Carr will continue to be an above-average NFL quarterback, but his defense could have a lot of holes in it this season. With cold weather and coming off a huge win vs. the Ravens the previous week, look for the Browns to once again take care of business.

Prediction: 31-20 Browns

Week 16 @ Green Bay – Dec. 25

One of the worst times of the year is about 4 PM on Christmas day. The gifts are over, the family has left, and you are now just counting down the days to next Christmas. Not this year, as the Browns will travel to play the Green Bay Packers in another prime-time matchup.

While this will be a great experience for the Browns to showcase themselves once again in prime time, the Packers will be too much to handle. There is a lot of chatter on Rodgers leaving Green Bay, but I honestly don’t buy any of it. This will be a close one, but the home-field advantage will be too much to overcome.

Prediction: 24-17 Packers.

After 15 games, the Browns will now be 10-5, but with a 3-1 record within the division. This will be a great place to be, with two winnable games inside the division to end the year.
