The Cleveland Browns are in must-win territory after dropping to 1-3 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders, who were without Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams. They face a Washington Commanders team that is 3-1 and sitting atop the NFC East. Who will come out on top? Here are this week's predictions.
Pro Football Talk
Mike Florio: "Jayden Daniels is who Deshaun Watson was seven years ago.
Florio: Commanders, 31-21.
Simms: Commanders, 20-17."
CBS Sports
Pete Prisco: "The Commanders are riding high behind rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, while the Browns are struggling with Deshaun Watson. This is a second straight road game for the Browns and they are really banged up. The offensive line is a mess. Daniels will stay hot. The Commanders keep rolling.
Pick: Commanders 28, Browns 17"
Bleacher Report
BR Staff: "The Commanders have the league's most aggressive defense, and they are going to make life uncomfortable for a Browns offense dealing with injuries. Dan Quinn's D blitzes more on third down than any other team in the league, according to StatMuse. Maybe Cleveland gets Nick Chubb back this week, but there's no guarantee he'll immediately be the same player he was prior to injury. Conversely, the Commanders are clicking on offense right now, and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will get the ball out quickly and efficiently."
