2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 6

Cleveland Browns (4-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4-0)

Sunday, October 18, 1PM ET

All year long I’ve been picking against the Cleveland Browns and for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, it’s time I turn that approach on its head. They’re obviously two very talented teams, but I’m starting to get the sense that one is more prepared than the other to take the league by storm.

Yes, I’m talking about the Browns. For the last couple of years, we’ve been waiting for them to get it together. There’s enough talent on both sides of the ball, and now they’ve got a competent head coach in Kevin Stefanski who’s bringing out the best in this bunch. I was still on the fence heading into Week 5, but they sent the Indianapolis Colts home with a loss and I’m starting to believe.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are still a bit of an unknown. Yes, they’ve looked great on their way to an undefeated start. With that said, they’ve bested four teams with a combined record of 3-15-1. They’ve yet to face quality competition, which is exactly what the Browns are proving themselves to be.

As great as the Steelers defense has been this season, I’m not sure they’re ready to slow down Cleveland’s dangerous mix of top receiving threats and pummeling ground game. The Browns bring their divisional foes down a notch by knocking them from the ranks of the undefeated.

Prediction: Browns win 37-33
