2021 Cleveland Browns Season Preview & Predictions

Week one loss at KC
Reason – The Browns are getting better, but KC is elite.

Week two win vs Chicago
Reason – The Bears have no offense and this will give the Browns defense a chance to adjust and try a few things.

Week three win vs Houston
Reason – This is a cupcake as Houston may be the worst team in the league this year.

Week Four win at Minnesota
Reason – The Vikings are getting better, but that defense should lead to easy picking for Baker and the wideouts.

Week Five loss at Los Angeles
Reason – The Chargers will be one of the best teams in the league this year as Justin Hebert is a level above Mayfield. Look for Hebert to light up the shaky Browns secondary.

Week Six loss vs Arizona
Reason – The Cardinals will be one of the best teams in the league this year as Kyler Murray is a level above Mayfield. Look for Hebert to light up the shaky Browns secondary.

Week Seven win vs Denver
Reason – The Browns will need to take advantage of a short turnaround for Denver. Look for Nick Chubb to go off in this game.

Week Eight loss vs Pittsburgh
Reason – You really shouldn’t have made fun of the Steelers. They may be getting old and worse, but until you can beat them several years in a row, you are just fueling the fire. The Browns will find a way to choke this game away. Mark my words.

Week 9 win at Cincy
Reason – For whatever reason, Baker Mayfield has made a living on lighting up the Bengals.

Week 10 loss at NE
Reason – Mac Jones is the best rookie QB in this years class despite all the hype going elsewhere. This game will come down to the final drive, but I wouldn’t bet against Belichick and Jones.

Week 11 win vs Detroit
Reason – The Lions can possibly go 0-16 this year. No offense to Jared Goff, but they have nothing around him unless Swift has an incredible sophomore year.

Week 12 loss at Baltimore
Reason – Lamar Jackson is 4-1 as a starter against the Browns, they cannot stop him. Unless the Browns can find a way to get some turnovers, this will be a dreadful showing on national television. They must turn Jackson over to have any chance.

Week 13 win vs Baltimore
Reason – Kevin Stefanksi is too good of a coach to lost again to Jackson, let alone two weeks in a row. The Browns will use the bye week to get healthy and ready for their rivals in a last ditch effort at the playoffs.

Week 14 win vs Vegas
Reason – Vegas will either be a hot mess at this point in the season, or a serious playoff contender. I’m betting on crappy weather and the Raiders being a mess.

Week 15 loss at GB
Reason – Get ready for a Christmas Day blowout on the road.

Week 16 win at Pitt
Reason – It won’t be pretty, but Big Ben will be in a body cast by this point, and the Browns will be in must win mode.

Week 17 vs Cincy
Reason – Baker and the Browns continue their dominance over Cincy but it will be too little, too late. 10-7 won’t be good enough to get them in.
