Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns are off to a 3-5 start on the 2022 season, in a spot where they will need to dig out of to be in playoff contention when the final stretch of the season comes. Soon Cleveland will get back Deshaun Watson, and expectations will come to form. Cleveland is on a week 9 bye week, there are other games to pay attention to though.

Carolina Panthers (2-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-4)

The Browns have already beaten both of these teams this season, but they’ll be rooting for the Panthers here. PJ Walker will lead the Panthers on the road to Cincinnati, where the Bengals will want to bounce back after last week’s loss to Cleveland. A game back from the Bengals in terms of overall record, you’ll take the upset win by Carolina any day.

Miami Dolphins (5-3) at Chicago Bears (3-5)

This game is another one that kicks off at 1 p.m. and features Cleveland’s next opponent. The Dolphins are on the road this week while Cleveland has a week off. A loss would help in the wildcard race, but monitoring the health of the Dolphins in this game is key.

Baltimore Ravens (5-3) at New Orleans Saints (3-5)

The Ravens will take a trip to Louisiana to take on the Saints on Monday Night Football. Baltimore leads the division, already beating Cleveland this season. The Ravens have won their last two games, looking to make it three here. A Saints win would do the Browns a favor.
