15 bold predictions for NFL Week 6: Jaguars win, Herbert beats Lamar
5. Browns go -3 in turnover differential vs. Cardinals…and win
The Cleveland Browns are a team that seems to have a lot of room for error right now.
Unfortunately against the Chargers, they didn’t have quite enough room for error.
Against the undefeated Arizona Cardinals, I’m expecting some weird stuff to happen. It’s not bold to just predict the Browns to win the game, so how about predicting them to win with a minus-three turnover differential?
Maybe both Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray struggle against good defenses, but the Browns’ ground game finds a way to get it done in the end.
4. Cowboys hang 50 on the Patriots in NFL Week 6
As good as the Dallas Cowboys have been on offense so far this season, they haven’t scored 50 points in one of their five games.
I mean, what’s wrong with those guys?
The Cowboys are already averaging 34 points per game and they are second in the NFL with 12 turnovers forced.
Even though there is a certain mystique about going into New England, how about the Cowboys hanging a 50-burger on Bill Belichick and the Patriots this week?
The Patriots’ season-high of points allowed so far is just 28 to the New Orleans Saints and they currently have a top-five scoring defense. The Pats defense impressed, giving up just 19 points to the Buccaneers, but otherwise, they haven’t played any juggernaut offenses like the Cowboys.
Dallas’ offense continues to play well, and the defense gets a score or two against rookie QB Mac Jones.
