2018 NFL Picks, score predictions for Week 7

Cleveland Browns (2-3-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)

Sunday, October 21, 1PM ET

If you’re looking for a game with minimal defense and a whole lot of scoring, then this is the game for you. Both of these teams are just looking to stay relevant right now, and figure to put up plenty of points in hopes of doing so in Week 7.

When the clock strikes zero, I’m fairly confident it’ll be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who have done more scoring.

The Buccaneers are one of the most bipolar teams in the league right now. After exploding out of the gates, they’ve lost three straight but continue to at least look somewhat competitive. They’re fielding the top passing offense in the league, but also boast one of the most embarrassing defenses we’ve seen in some time.

Can Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns take advantage? I mean, they’ll probably find the end zone on a fairly regular basis. Whether or not they can keep up with Jameis Winston and Co. on the scoreboard, however, is a completely different conversation.

The Browns should keep this one close, as they’ve done all season long. In the end, though, the Buccaneers secure the hard-fought win on their home field to get back to .500.

Prediction: Buccaneers win 41-34
