Weeks 14-18
Week 14 Jacksonville Jaguars (loss)
This is another bump in the road for Cleveland. They return home but are still on Pacific Coast time and lose a close game to a rising Jags team.
Week 15 Chicago Bears (win)
The Bears quarterback Justin Fields still has nightmares of his last visit to Cleveland Browns Stadium and that trend continues in this one and the Browns prevail.
Week 16 Houston Texans (win)
Deshaun Watson returns to Texas and they pick up a late-season win and keep the winning streak going.
Week 17 New York Jets (win)
The Browns battle the Jets on Thursday Night Football and they get their third win in a row and lock up a playoff berth.
Week 18 Cincinnati Bengals (loss)
The Browns rest their starters and the Bengals do too as the B teams play a close game but in the end, Cleveland loses 17-16
The Final Prediction
10-7
The Browns will play the Miami Dolphins in a first-round wild-card game and win
They then face the Ravens again and lose in the second round.
There’s always next year!
