BL Predicts: Browns vs Steelers

This years Browns team has shown the importance of experience in the NFL.   Time and time again, our Browns have lost close games as veteran laden opponents seize key moments and our young Browns did not.  Against the Steelers this week, we face an opponent who is severely weakened by injury.   Our young team today has enough talent to beat the Steelers.  Motivation hasn't been a problem for the Browns this year but what has hurt the Browns is lack of production in key moments, especially on offense.    Having confidence in a few key plays that can produce yards in a critical moment.    Today against the Steelers is a test of character and this team has shown character all season long.



BL Predicts:   Our offense today will step up and execute in key moments and the Browns will finally win a game we deserve to win.   If the Steelers were at full strength it would be another story but today the Steelers are short handed.  It should be a day the Browns can build on.

Browns 24
Steelers 10

The BL are 6-4 year to date.

BL Predicts: Week 10 - Browns vs Cowboys

It's that time of season where the Brown Log looks to drive up it's won loss record in predicting the outcome of Browns games.  If we'd only predict the team to lose every week we'd be 7-2 right now, but as good Clevelanders, optimism must win out from time to time, hence our 5-4 record year to date.

In our last loss against the Ravens, Coach Pat Shurmur showed his inexperience by his slow decision making at key moments in the game, which resulted in several very bad play calls in key moments.   Shurmur is cutting his teeth in this his first head coaching assignment at any level and it shows.   Shurmur has also shown the ability in the past to grow from the school of hard knocks so I don't expect to see confusion on the field against the Cowboys when it comes to play calling.   However I wouldn't be surprised to see some other issue rear it's ugly head today.

Fact is that the Cowboys are at home, against a Browns team that will have an injured Joe Haden, perhaps on the field, but maybe not.

BL Predicts:

Cowboys 21
Browns 13

BL Predicts: Game 9 vs Baltimore

The Browns were forced to run the ball more than they passed the ball last week vs the Chargers due to the bad weather.  Lo and behold, we won the game!  This week Cleveland faces a motivated but banged up Ravens team.   I look for the Browns to keep on running their way to another home victory.

BL Predicts:
Browns 19
Ravens 13

The Brown Log are 5-3 year to date in predicting the winner of Browns games.
