Cleveland Browns Week 11 Predictions
4. The offense finally wakes up
The Browns' offense has been interesting this season. They're very inconsistent. They have had weeks where they've been able to put up 40-plus points and then the next week they can't score more than seven. This is the perfect game for the Browns to test some things that they want to do in their offense and try to find things that work as they make a playoff push.
The offense is going to be hot on Sunday and that is going to carry them throughout the rest of the season. They will take advantage of this Lions team and play better football throughout the season. It's a nice game for the Browns to get their confidence up and also try to move up the AFC North standings.

They're going to easily shut this team out and the Lions won't be able to put more than seven points on the boar. Myles Garrett is going to have one of the best games of his season as he's going to record three or more sacks.
2. Cleveland wins by 30-plus points
Cleveland is going to win this game with ease and they're also going to keep their starters in longer than they usually would in a blowout. They have some things that they need to work on offensively. This will be a good chance for them to work on some plays and new schemes for the rest of the season.
Baker Mayfield, despite being injured, is going to have a bounce-back game where he's going to throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns.
1. This fuels Cleveland for the rest of the season
Cleveland hasn't been playing the way that they wanted to this season and this is the perfect opportunity for them to get things back on the road. If they want to make the playoffs they're going to have to almost win out as they play in one of the most competitive divisions in football. This is the perfect game for Cleveland to bounce back and take advantage of a lesser opponent. Cleveland will walk away with this one with a lot of confidence and be ready to go for the next few weeks.
