Browns vs. Bills 5 bold predictions: Ground game goes wild in Week 11
By Randy Gurzi
2. Browns D will get two picks
As good as Josh Allen has been this season, he’s had one glaring weakness — a knack for turning the ball over. In nine games played, he has 10 interceptions and has also fumbled the ball eight times.
Last week in their loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Allen really struggled to protect the ball. He had an interception in the end zone on a fourth-down attempt and then threw a pick in overtime as his team was looking to score the winning touchdown.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Vikings were only able to force overtime thanks to a fumble on a handoff right after the defense made a huge stop at the goal line. This fumble was picked up by Minnesota in the end zone, giving them a three-point lead. While Allen did lead his offense down for the tie, his interception in overtime ended their hopes.
The frustrating thing for Allen is that this was the third game in a row — and fourth overall in 2022 — that he had two interceptions in one week. Despite the rough conditions which will lead to more runs than passes, this final prediction is that Allen will still try and force a couple of passes that will find their way to defenders.
Look for Cleveland to come away with two picks, with Martin Emerson grabbing the first of his career.
