Cleveland Browns 2026 Predictions

Where we have them finishing

• Nick: 2-15
• Nico: 4-13
• Brooklyn: 3-14

Why

The Browns made some good draft choices like Boston and Conception, and upgrading their o line with Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins, yet this is still a Browns team without a clear starting QB, and now Myles Garrett
— Nick, 2-15

The Browns will continue to be live at the bottom of the division until they have their QB of the future. While the offense does sound much better, the lack of QB talent will keep this team back from serious play. They will find ways to squeeze out wins versus other mediocre teams, and it will be the worst game of the week.
— Nico, 4-13

I honestly don’t know where to even start with Cleveland. They scored just 16.4 PPG (31st) last year, and their WR room genuinely makes some college teams look better, while losing Myles Garrett is a massive hit. The defense is still the saving grace, but this team is a complete wildcard weekly depending on who’s throwing the ball. I’ll give the defense enough credit to steal some games, so 3-14 feels right.
— Brooklyn, 3-14
