Here are predictions from multiple staff members at DBN.Ĭhris Pokorny: “The Browns have me feeling confident again. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Browns are 3.5 point underdogs against the Dolphins.Weather shouldn't impact kicking conditions this week. Whether it's missed kicks or blocked kicks, Cleveland is still working on getting things right for rookie Cade York.Running back Jerome Ford is back from injured reserve and should return kickoffs against the Dolphins.Photo by Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Quick Hitters I'll just throw this out there: one if Stefanski plants a seed early on by swapping Brissett for Joshua Dobbs, and allows Dobbs to run the ball? Hmmmm. Look at what Justin Fields did to them last week.
Our Dolphins affiliate made the interesting point that Miami's run defense has held opposing running backs in check the reason they don't rank better statistically is that they've had trouble stopping running quarterbacks.This could be the John Johnson game, make or break. Cleveland has not had the same breakdowns in coverage, and John Johnson has probably been waiting for a team to challenge him on deeper passes over the middle. But in some of the plays I've seen, I've also thought, "Yeah.that was a bit lucky." The gunslinger mentality has paid off, but it won't always. They've had incredible success, and the offense deserves a ton of credit. That's the big concern that fans have when they see Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on Miami's offense, and the success that Tua Tagovailoa has had in getting them the ball.Brissett can help lead scoring drives in a shootout type of game, but he's not the type of quarterback who will rally you from being down three possessions. The unique part about that statement is that they still aren't built to play from behind with Jacoby Brissett.I still support the potential of creative wrinkles like that in the offense, but it's also not necessary: the offense can be as efficient as they come. What was funny against the Bengals is that the Browns tried to be cute on offense in order to pull out all the stops early on, and that backfired (the interception thrown by Amari Cooper).Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Buzz-Worthy Dolphins And, in a few weeks, the team knows they get their (love him or hate him) franchise quarterback back. The defense has turned in their two best efforts of the season before the bye, with guys like Sione Takitaki stepping up to the occasion. Aside from the egg against the Patriots, no one has been able to stop Cleveland’s offense with regularity.Cornerback Denzel Ward also returns from concussion, and right guard Wyatt Teller will be back from his calf injury. The bye week allowed defensive players like Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney to be even fresher.The challenge is to dig themselves out of the sub-.500 record. In that locker room, this team knows they are good enough to win the division.
They are 2-1 in the AFC North, and damn sure know they could've beaten Baltimore.
