FINAL PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS for the Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots game

All right, it is time for pre-written headlines. We love this. We’re undefeated. We’ve we’ve gotten it right. All of us have correctly predicted the outcomes of every single game this year, haven’t we? — This is
— 100% true. You don’t need to look it up. Just trust us. All right, you’re up first with the right, here we go. Browns Patriots this Sunday. Patriots are a 7 point favorite in the game. Stefanski, unable to beat, beat, beat, oh sorry, I was, uh, beat Rael. Drake May lights up Brown’s defense and route to 2710 week. Is he unable to be Vel or unable to beat Vel? Neither one. Neither one. You can’t be. — He wants to be like
— Mike. Yeah, I think this game’s gonna be one-sided. I think that this is gonna be one of those games, you know, a little bit like Detroit and Baltimore where the and even Pittsburgh, where the defense just kind of gets worn down because the offense can’t do anything. Listen, uh, I, you know, I would, I would like to drink some Kool-Aid. I had some last week but no Kool-Aid this week. I think this could get nasty. I’m gonna get to it. Brown’s haunted by the Patriots. Gabriel Spooky’s performance leaves fans scared for his future after a 24 to 13 defeat. — I don’t
— think fans will ever be scared of Dylan Gabriel’s future. Does that mean it can be scary. You’re telling me if he’s here for the whole year, it could get very scary. — I’m afraid
— 24 13 uh shoot, by the way, you weren’t drinking Kool-Aid last week. Last week we all. Pick picked them to win, yeah, — except
— for I did and so yeah you’re staying off the Kool-Aid again. No, — I
— drank it, I was, I was gonna drink it secondhand after they got the Kool-Aid is you think they’re gonna win before they win, not afterwards, that’s what happens when you’re a Browns fan. drink it whenever you can. Yeah, you gonna drink whenever you can. Well, I picked I picked the Browns to win twice already this year, and this week is not the 3. Boston TD. Patriots in May throw Browns overboard 27-17 win. I’m with you guys and frankly, I don’t know if the Browns can get to 17. I’m being optimistic. I won a 17. I was like, yeah, I, I don’t know unless the defense creates a short field or they get a special teams turnover. I’m not sure they make it to 17. I think this is gonna be another one of those games where. We look at it and say, God, the defense did enough to win. They played well enough. I think part of that plays into the fact that offenses don’t know they don’t do anything. No, — that’s exactly why they have
— to put the ball in danger. They just have to wait for the Browns to Brown. See the Ravens, see the Lions and the Steelers. I don’t think this one’s going to get out of hand, but I, I, I think that the Browns’ offense will be the Patriots’ best weapon. They’ll be ineffective. They’re going to not be able to move it enough. They’ll make one mistake that the Patriots capitalize on, and I see it being another L for the Browns and the offense struggling again mightily 20 to 10. Jason and I think way too similar. I had a, uh, a sad Boston TO party. out as Vrabel and Drake maybe, maybe very good send the Browns back to the AFC North basement with a loss. So Jason, stop stealing my ideas. Sorry, it’s OK. — He’s the newspaper
— guy. We all picked the Patriots, which means the Browns have a chance. — That’s
— what we’re saying we usually when we all go one way, and they could win this game.

Mike Vrabel likes the way the New England Patriots have been trending to start the season, winning five of six and vaulting to the top of the AFC East after dropping their season opener to Las Vegas.

He also recognizes that Sunday’s matchup against Cleveland (2-5) is pivotal for a group that, for whatever reason, hasn’t fared well at home. The Patriots (5-2) are 4-0 on the road but just 1-2 in their own building.

“It’s a big one, coming back home and just making sure that we don’t take anything for granted in our preparation,” Vrabel said.

Of the five teams the Patriots have beaten, only Carolina has a defense ranked in the top 10. Two of New England’s victories have come against teams with defenses ranked in the bottom third of the league (Miami, 26th; Tennessee, 24th).

The Browns boast the league’s top defense, allowing 256.1 yards per game.

That’s not lost on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye , who has put up numbers over the last six games — throwing for at least 200 yards with a 100-plus passer rating — that have only been duplicated over a six-game stretch by Aaron Rodgers , Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes .

“They’re really good, they’re really good. Shoot, they’ve got one of the best players in football,” Maye said, referencing Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett. “So, we’ve got a tough challenge.” | https://www.espn.com/nfl/preview/_/gameId/401772868
