Cleveland Browns (@ New York Jets)
The year is 2026, and we're talking about the Cleveland Browns being guaranteed to win a football game.
Huh?
Yes, it's true, we are doing this. It's really been quite something to witness this year. The 3-1 Browns are simply playing good, winning football. After being blown out by Jacksonville in Week 1, the Browns have responded nicely with three wins in a row, and a fourth win in a row feels likely.
While the situation surrounding one Deshaun Watson is less than ideal, the fanbase definitely a group you can be happy for. The early returns from first-year head coach Todd Monken are obvious, and one huge reason why the team has played so well is because of all the young talent that General Manager Andrew Berry has been able to acquire in the NFL Draft in recent years.
It's created a nucleus of young talent that can actually build up to something in a year or two. The biggest remaining question mark might still be just how good Watson can be, as he was largely playing at a benchable level until this year with the Browns.
This might only be a flash in the pan, but if not, the Browns are going to be set. As for the New York Jets, this team is in year two of the Aaron Glenn era, and I am not sure what they do well. Glenn never really showed many signs of promise on the job, and with the Jets now having lost three games in a row, you almost wonder if his heat is getting warmer and warmer.
While the Jets are at home in this one, the Browns are the better football team and will win. They're already a better coached bunch and also bring in the better QB.
Prediction: Browns win 21-17
