Chiefs @ Browns

Graham Tiedtke

The top team in the AFC takes a trip to Cleveland to take on one of the worst teams in the AFC.

The Chiefs face the Browns on Sunday and it should be a very entertaining game. The Chiefs are a 9-point favorite as of Wednesday.

Cleveland fired its head coach, Hue Jackson, along with offensive coordinator Todd Haley following a 33-18 loss to their division foe, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was installed as the interim head coach.

The Chiefs continue to boast a dominant offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and running back Kareem Hunt. Cleveland has a rising star in quarterback Baker Mayfield.

I personally like where the Browns are headed and was surprised that they let Jackson go. But that’s what happens when you’re leading a team that has gone 3-36-1 and when your head coach and coordinator(s) don’t get along.

The high octane Kansas City Chiefs (7-1) will be rolling into Cleveland to take on the (2-5-1) Browns.

This one could actually be a fun game to watch. Both teams are ranked in the bottom three of the league in overall defense, but both boast a top five offensive attack.

The Browns will look to use their 4th-ranked rush attack to counter the 2nd-ranked passing attack of the Chiefs.

All of this is setting up for a potential shootout. The Browns have done a good job staying in games this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they stepped it up and make this game worth watching.

Chiefs 38, Browns 30
