On Sunday September 22nd ,2024, the Cleveland Browns will be hosting the New York Giants at 1 pm eastern time at Huntington Bank Field. The Cleveland Browns are 6.5-point favorites going into this game. The Browns are 1-1 and the Giants are 0-2. Most pundits and predictors are picking the Browns to win this game. But they do play the games for a reason. The Browns still must win the game on the field and not on the prediction or betting markets. This week can be the beginning of an opportunity for the Cleveland Browns.

After this Sunday’s game the Browns go on the road to Las Vegas to play the Raiders, the following week the travel to our nation’s capital, there they will play the Washington Commanders.  The next 3 Browns games on paper look to be winnable games. Here is the opportunity for this team to get on track. And by on track I mean by staking wins.

After week 5 this season the Cleveland Browns travel to Philadelphia to play the Eagles. They could very well have a 4-1 record going into that week. After the week 6 Eagles game the Browns come home to begin division play against the Cincinnati Bengals. It is possible for the Browns to start division play with a 4-2 record. And that can impact the season.

If the Cleveland Browns, consider themselves to be a playoff team and contend for a division title. They must win at least 3 division games. That with the next 3 games would put them at least 7 wins. And consider facing the Saints after a bye week. Going to Denver on a Monday night. And hosting the Dolphins on a Sunday night late in December. Those games are winnable too. That could put the Browns conceivably at 10 wins. Please keep in mind that nothing in the NFL is guaranteed. I am just speculating for fun.

The point that I am making is that good teams win the games they are expected to win. And the 2024 Browns can be north of 10 wins. Which is what many Browns have expected this season. It is the fans expectation that has been a long time coming for the Cleveland Browns. It should be a fun season for Browns fans.
