Detroit Lions (0-8-1) vs Cleveland Browns (5-5), Sunday at 1 P.M. ET

The Cleveland Browns are coming off a devastating loss against the New England Patriots over the weekend. It was a complete blowout as the Browns couldn’t muster much of anything. They will now look to move forward and try to create some momentum as they now sit in last place in the AFC North.

The Browns continue to reel as injuries and their play continue to cause issues. Baker Mayfield seems to have dodged a bullet with his injury but many will have to watch closely and see if he plays this week.

Now they will turn their attention to the Lions as they look to rebound against a poor team. It is a home game and this one should be easy for them to win no matter if they have starters out or not. The Lions did have a tie last week and that could mean some progress in their competitive fight.

It doesn’t seem likely that Detroit could pull off an upset but they showed some fight last week. They almost defeated a handful of clubs throughout the year thus far. Now they will try and shock the world against the Browns.

Cleveland will need to win this game and games like this one if they want a shot. Now they need to not look past their opponents every week and move forward. The home squad should win this fairly easily without much question.
