5 bold predictions for Browns against Cardinals

1. Browns hand Cardinals their first loss of the year, no more undefeated teams

It is not going to be easy, but the Browns are too good of a football team to fall to 3-3 on the season. They will do enough defensively to hand the visiting Cardinals their first loss of the season. Maybe they will pick up on something that worked out for the San Francisco 49ers’ defense a week ago and apply it to their defensive game plan? Either way, the Browns will win.

Admittedly, this most impressive fourth victory of the season for the Browns will be by only one score. Cleveland is not beating the Cardinals by more than eight points in this game. Whether a late Kareem Hunt touchdown pushes them over the top by a single point or a well-thrown pass by Mayfield breaks the tie in the final minutes, Cleveland will taste victory a week after bitter defeat.

As far as how the Browns should feel about themselves going to 4-2 on the season, they still have their whole season ahead of them. While not having the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Bolts and to some extent the Kansas City Chiefs could come back to haunt them, the Browns will remain in prime position to win their first division crown in over 30 years. What a huge win this will be.

The Cardinals are not the 1972 Miami Dolphins, so they were bound to lose at some point, right?
