Cleveland Browns vs NY Giants Prediction
I’ll stick with Cleveland. Probably not touching it, though. The Browns gutted out a road win over Jacksonville this past weekend but it wasn’t exactly pretty. Cleveland committed 13 penalties for 100 yards along the way and went an ugly 2-of-14 on third-down conversions. On defense, Cleveland gave up 323 yards (196 passing) and couldn’t muster any takeaways.
As for New York, they had a few bright spots in an otherwise ugly road loss to Washington. The Giants posted just 22:28 in time of possession, resulting in 304 total yards (175 passing) and 18 first downs. Cleveland hasn’t scored more than 18 points in either game so far, but their defense should be able to hold the Giants in check this weekend. I’m staying away from this one but it should at least be somewhat competitive.
