NFL Week 16, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

17. Browns lose by more than 30 points

So much for all the Super Bowl hype surrounding the Cleveland Browns this season, huh?

After the somewhat surprising success last season with Baker Mayfield on top of acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants in the offseason, the Browns were expected to take the major leap by many in regards to becoming a top contender in the AFC.

Unfortunately, it looks like Cleveland will need to wait at least another season before that happens as a result of the last few months.

And if the Browns thought last weekend’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals was brutal, just wait until they see what the Baltimore Ravens are expected to have in store for them in Week 16.

With the Ravens looking to lock up the No. 1 seed, this could very well turn into one of those games that ends up being over by halftime for the Browns based off how the two teams compare at the moment.

Assuming this turns out to be the case, the next step in Cleveland will be determining if it’s worth giving Freddie Kitchens another shot in 2020, or if the Browns would be better off starting fresh with someone new at head coach.
