Cleveland Browns 2021 schedule release: Week-by-week predictions

Cleveland Browns Week 1: Loss at Kansas City (0-1)

The Browns NEVER win in Week 1, and now they’re going to knock off Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead in the opener. I’d love for Baker Mayfield and company to prove me wrong, but the Browns take the L here to extend their winless streak in Week 1.

The Browns haven’t won an opener since 2004. Cleveland tied Pittsburgh in 2018. They’ve never won a road opener in the expansion era.

Cleveland Browns Week 2:  Win vs Texans (1-1)

The Cleveland Browns should rebound in Week 2, playing their first game in front of the home fans by defeating the Texans.

Even with Deshaun Watson in the game, the Browns were a good bet to win. Now, it seems very unlikely he’ll be under center for Houston.
