3. Cleveland Browns vs. Indianapolis Colts

We may have been a year too early on the Cleveland Browns. They were everyone’s darling heading into last season but fell way short of expectations, going just 6-10 while the division rival Ravens took over the league. The start to the 2020 campaign, however, has been substantially more positive for this franchise.

Cleveland dropped their first game of this season in a blowout loss to Baltimore but they’ve rebounded since. The Browns have now won three straight games and have scored 34+ points in each of their victories. Hiring head coach Kevin Stefanski has clearly made a huge positive impact on this team, giving them the chance to maximize the quality roster talent.

The Colts also lost their first game of the 2020 season, getting upset by the Jaguars in Week 1. They too have won three in a row, though. Impressively, they’ve done so with a +47 point differential, the third-best mark in the league. Philip Rivers hasn’t been a world-beater but he’s been good enough while the Indianapolis defense has been one of the best in the league to this point.

Whenever you have two teams riding hot streaks going toe-to-toe in this league, it should be great fun. But with the way the Browns offense has hummed and now that their facing a buzzsaw defense on Sunday, this matchup should be one of the most entertaining of NFL Week 5.
