With both playoff lives in the balance, how does Madden and myself see the Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns game playing out this weekend?

A big time game in the AFC takes place on Saturday night as the Denver Broncos welcome the Cleveland Browns to town. This game marks the second to last home game for the Denver Broncos. They will be wearing their blue jerseys for this one.

It will be a battle of two of the top five picks in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Browns will have No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield on the field while the Denver Broncos will have Bradley Chubb, the fifth overall pick looking to sack the quarterback.

On paper, it seems that the Denver Broncos are the stronger team. But the Cleveland Browns have surprised a few teams this season. Their record might not be the strongest, but they have competed in quite a few of their games.

For the Denver Broncos, they are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers that could be the difference in their season. A loss to the Cleveland Browns could mean that Denver will miss the playoffs for the third straight season.

From there, you would assume that changes will be made. And they certainly should be made. But the team needs to focus on going 1-0. Let us hope that they can this weekend.

I decided to play some Madden again and test myself against the computer. Let us see how the game plays out.
