Week 10 – Browns at Patriots

For the 2021 season, I think most would rather play the Patriots earlier than later with a rookie quarterback, as many think they could be a real surprise team in the AFC with all the money they spent this offseason.

There is no doubt that Bill Belichick is the best coach in the NFL, and they will have a great scheme every week to give their team a real chance. However, I think the Browns have enough firepower to get this victory and move to 8-2.

Score – Browns 24, Patriots 20
Current record 8-2

Week 11 – Lions at Browns

This Week 11 matchup will be the third of four NFC North opponents for the year, and at this point, I have the Browns 2-0. I don’t think anything will change in this game as the Detroit Lions took a big step back when trading Matthew Stafford.

Not only will the Browns offense move the ball at will, the Lions offense will struggle to score points on the Browns defense. This could end up being one of the easier wins in 2021.

Score – Browns 27, Lions 13
Current record 9-2

Week 12 – Browns at Ravens

Not sure how this seems to always happen, but the Browns will go Ravens, bye week, Ravens again in 2021. This is a huge game as the Ravens will likely be the biggest competition for the Browns, but I don’t see them getting this one done.

Lamar Jackson continues to cause problems, and the tight man coverage from the Ravens always seems to give Baker Mayfield fits. This one will be tight, but the Browns will fall to 9-3 overall and 2-1 in the division.

Score – Ravens 27, Browns 17
Current record 9-3
