5 bold predictions for the Patriots against the Browns

The Patriots will fall to 5-5

New England deserves a ton of credit for this run they have been on. They put up 54 against the Jets, went across the country to upset the Chargers in Los Angeles, and kept the Panthers out of the end zone while their defense shined.

That said, the Browns are the better team. While Matt Judon and Jackson have both been great this season for the Patriots, the Browns are just deeper both offensively and defensively. Their run game is stronger, and their skill position players are better than anyone on the Patriots offense.

On top of that, the Browns, you could argue, need this game more. New England plays in a division where they can win a couple more games. The Browns play in the most competitive division in football where they will face the Ravens twice in three weeks, the Steelers in Week 17, and they close out the year against the Bengals. Plus, they also have games against the Raiders and Packers remaining on their schedule late in the year.

The sense of urgency will be higher for the Browns. The combination of the run game and great defense will lead them to the win in Foxboro.
