Now that summer is winding down, the Labor Day holiday weekend has passed, and children are going back to school. The NFL season has kicked off and much speculation and anticipation go with the season’s start. Many podcasters, reporters, and pundits make predictions on how the season will unfold. With the success of last season, can the Cleveland Browns build upon the success of 2023? And what can be predicted?

To get an understanding of how the Cleveland Browns 2024 season can go, we must understand that the Cleveland Browns play in the toughest division in football. The AFC north divisional record will best determine the success of the Cleveland Browns. In the last two seasons the Browns had a divisional record of 3-3. If they expect to win the division, they must win 4 division games in 2024. That means they must sweep a division rival. They haven’t swept the Pittsburgh Steelers since 1988. And every team in the AFC North is a good team. So, sweeping any of those teams is easier said than done. Along with the division, the conference is also tough.

There is no doubt that the road to the Super Bowl for an AFC team will go through Kansas City. Since they are the defending 2-time Super Bowl Champions, they are the team to beat in the AFC. And they visit the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on December 15th.  How the Browns play in that game can determine how good they are.

Despite all the national media noise and with my personal bias as a Cleveland Browns beat reporter and lifetime fan. I am predicting an AFC North Championship for the Cleveland Browns. This will be their first division championship in 35 years. I am also predicting an AFC Championship game appearance for the Browns.  I objectively believe this roster can compete with anyone in the NFL. This team beat San Francisco last year when PJ Walker started at quarterback. History has shown that when team is due destiny can find them. Why can’t destiny find the Cleveland Browns to a Super Bowl in 2024?
