Atlanta Falcons (4-4) at Cleveland Browns (2-6-1)

Sunday, November 11, 1PM ET

After getting off to an awful 1-4 start, the Falcons have now won three games in a row and have forced their way back into the NFC playoff race.  With a matchup with the floundering Cleveland Browns on the horizon, the string of victories will remain intact.

I know the Browns actually have some wins this year, but they aren’t a real threat on a weekly basis. Sure, they’ve been putting up more points with Baker Mayfield under center, but the wins still aren’t coming. Against a surging Falcons team, expect the Browns to be overwhelmed in nearly every aspect.

Now that’s not to say they’ll get blown out. Mayfield knows how to put points on the board, and his well-rounded group of running backs helps. Going up against the Falcons’ susceptible secondary should help Cleveland’s case. Unfortunately for the Browns, I don’t see Mayfield doing enough to keep up with Matt Ryan and Co.

Sadly, the Browns are still rebuilding. Their opponents, on the other hand, still have the postseason in their sights. Don’t expect a spoiler performance from Cleveland in Week 10.

Prediction: Falcons win 30-21
