2018 NFL Picks, score predictions for Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) at Cleveland Browns (2-2-1)

Sunday, October 14, 1PM ET

It may seem ridiculous, but this could be one of the most enjoyable games to watch in Week 6. Both of these teams have shown bursts of excitement and playoff potential this season, which seriously seems asinine when discussing the Cleveland Browns.

And yet, what do you expect when you have that many top draft picks in a row?

Baker Mayfield has this Browns offense playing with confidence, and the Cleveland ground game is one of the best in the business right now. The problem lies with the defense, which is giving up big yards on a weekly basis. At the same time, they’re consistently creating turnovers and doing a great job of keeping opponents out of the end zone.

As for the Chargers, they’ve done a great job of employing a well-balanced approach on offense. The passing game and rushing attack are working well right now, allowing Los Angeles to take whatever route necessary to put points on the board. The defense hasn’t been as balanced, but is among the Top 10 defenses in the league against the run.

All of these pieces seem to suggest the Chargers can handle this one. It’ll be tough winning inside the Dawg Pound, but I’m rolling with Philip Rivers and Co. to squeak out a win in Week 6.

Prediction: Chargers win 27-24
