Cleveland Browns' 2008 Prediction

Week Six New York Giants

Monday night, after a bye, versus the defending Super Bowl Champs. The Browns caved under the bright lights in exhibition season but I don’t see them doing that again. It will be closer than the preseason game, but I see the Giants out-muscling the Browns for the win.

LOSS

Week Seven at Washington

The 'Skins have a new coach, new offense, and play in a rough division. The Browns have dominated the series with Washington to the tune of 33-9-1, including 16-36-1 in DC. I see that trend continuing. 

WIN

Week Eight at Jacksonville

A carbon copy of the Giants game. I don’t see the Browns folding, but the Jaguars are just more physical up front and will control the tempo of the game.

LOSS

Week Nine Baltimore

The only thing that may change for the Ravens is the QB but not the final result.

WIN

Week 10 Denver

A Thursday-night home game after a Sunday home game. Tough, but not insurmountable. The Broncos have been mediocre since the retirement of John Elway and Terrell Davis, and I do not see them being a better team than the Browns.

WIN

Week 11 at Buffalo

Buffalo is a tough place to play, but this game falls in mid-November and not late December. The Bills are much improved, but I don’t see them pulling out this game.

WIN

Week 12 Houston

A third-straight improved team, a third-straight team the Browns are better than. I see this game playing out just like it did in 2007; the Browns being comfortably ahead all game but the Texans hanging around until the end.

WIN

Week 13 Indianapolis

A true litmus test for the Browns. Similar to the Patriots' game last year, when the Browns hung tough, but New England was just better. The Browns have a little chip on their should since the Colts tanked Week 17 last year, but right now, Indianapolis is just better.  LOSS

Week 14 at Tennessee
