Browns vs Cowboys Prediction
Even though this roster is flat-out loaded, it's hard to know what to make of the Cleveland Browns this year. The Browns had a historically efficient defense last season, but defensive production tends to be far less sticky from year to year. For example, the Bengals were a top-three defense in 2022 but finished as a bottom-12 unit last season.
If the defense takes even a small step back, Cleveland could be in trouble. Deshaun Watson remained maddeningly inconsistent last season, averaging just 185.8 passing yards per game over his six starts, a significant drop from his impressive 301.4 passing yards per game in the 2020 season. Unless he makes major strides this offseason, Watson is likely to struggle against a Dallas defense that allowed the fourth-fewest points in the league last year.
Look for the Prescott-Lamb connection to be featured early and often as Dallas pulls off the upset on the road.
