Browns vs Broncos Prediction Breakdown
Both of these teams come into this game on a winning streak, but Denver will have the home field advantage here. The Broncos have really turned it around after a slow start to the year and their defense has been very good in their last five games. Cleveland also has a very good defense, but their offense has a lot of question marks. The Browns are starting DTR, who hasn’t looked very good this season, but he did lead them to a win last week. I can’t believe how the Broncos have turned their season around and I like them in this spot once again. I could see their offense starting slow against the Cleveland defense, but I don’t trust Cleveland to score more than 10-14 points. Take Denver at home here.
