The Cleveland Browns take on the New York Jets this Sunday. With both teams coming off the bye, Cleveland fans have been circling this game as one they surely have to win, right? It became even more obvious
after the Jets traded away their top two defenders this week. The experts agree, taking a clean sweep of predictions in favor of the Browns. With that said, all of the margins are razor thin, with them seeing both teams having a struggle to get to 20 points.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 10 game between the Browns and Patriots:
CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) – Browns 21, Jets 17
This is one of the dog games of the week, featuring two teams coming off a bye. Both needed it. Both teams have quarterback issues, but at least the Browns have the better defense. The Jets traded away captains Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams this week. That won’t play well. I think the Browns win it behind their defense.
CBS Sports (John Breech) – Browns 19, Jets 16
Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) – Browns 20, Jets 17
The Browns and Jets are both coming off merciful byes. This is a manageable matchup for Myles Garrett and the better defensive team coming into the matchup. The Browns can contain the run while also getting the more impactful running game on the road.
Sporting News (Bill Bender) – Browns 19, Jets 16
The Jets have allowed 31 sacks this season – the fourth most in the NFL. That is a frightening trend facing Cleveland edge rusher Myles Garrett – who has 10 sacks this season. Aaron Glenn did not announce a starting QB on Monday. The Browns average 12.5 points on the road. Dillon Gabriel has avoided sacks, but can he avoid turnovers on the road in a defensive struggle?
