2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 16
Cleveland Browns (10-4) at New York Jets (1-13)
Sunday, December 27, 1PM ET
Congratulations to the New York Jets, who finally got their first win of 2020 in Week 15. While it was a nice moral win for the players, it didn’t do anything besides potentially cost the team the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Sounds like Trevor Lawrence will avoid Gang Green after all.
It was a solid win, but that doesn’t mean the Jets are suddenly going to topple quality teams on a weekly basis. It was a fluke when they beat the Rams — it won’t happen against the Cleveland Browns, who look like one of the most confident and well-put-together teams in the NFL with the postseason just around the corner.
Look for the Cleveland offense to unload on the New York D. Baker Mayfield should have another big game, while the ground game gets going early. The Browns score at least five touchdowns, while the Jets struggle to get anything going on offense.
Regardless of that one win, Adam Gase still needs to go. The Jets still need a new quarterback, and the roster really just needs a complete overhaul. As for the Browns, they get one step closer to a playoff berth.
Prediction: Browns win 38-14
