Official Browns at Panthers predictions thread

[tukafan21]

Nobody with the easiest prediction yet?

Higgins TD (you know Baker wants to get one to him in this game as a huge middle finger to the Browns and they looked like they had a good connection in camp)

Panthers 31 Browns 23

Baker is going to be fired up for this game and it's going to bleed into the rest of the team as well, I'm thinking 3 passing TDs to Higgins, DJ, CMC, with another CMC TD on the ground

Browns are going to be missing both their starting OT's with Brisett starting and only one decent pass catcher, Burns with 2 sacks and another 2-4 from the rest of the team.  Their best chance is to run the ball, but without their starting OT's, they will struggle a bit from there too.

We win the game. Not predicting score.

Bozeman in for Elflein because of injury to Elflein

Donte Jackson with an INT.

Luvu with fumble recovery.

26 - 23

Offense starts off hot with the scripted plays and defense holds the browns to low scoring in the first half. 
 

Browns make a come back in the second half to tie it 23-23. Panthers offense is a little bit off but eventually pull it together for a game winning fg drive in the 4th.

27-23 good guys

Special teams will play a big part. We improved there a lot this offseason (other than questions at kicker, obviously). CMC looks like his old self and Baker does enough to keep things honest. The defense gets tired in the second half, but holds on. 

No matter the outcome, I think this team will be much improved by season's end. Whether that will be enough to make the playoffs, I don't know.

I think the Panthers are going to run hard over the left side (Garrett using Ickey, Brady, and Foreman). Low scoring first half.

Baker and McCaffrey will have good days, 250 and 150 respectively. 

Browns run well between the 20s but only manage 3 FGs.

Panthers get 2 TDs from Baker and 1 from McCaffrey. 

27 - 9 Panthers.

Panthers - 20

Browns - 17

This one might be ugly.

Not sure about it. Supposed to be raining so that hurts our passing game, they have a decent d-line with Garrett and Clowney, Ickey will be tested all day. 
 

Our defense has to stop the run, that might be the key to a Panther victory. Brissett won’t do squat against our secondary. 
 

Low scoring game: Panthers 21 Browns 14

[kungfoodude]

Panthers 27, Browns 24

Panthers jump out to an early lead but have to weather a Browns comeback in the second half and hold on.

Panthers win TO battle.

Mayfield sacked 5 times.

Browns run for over 150 yards.

[Raleigh PF]

Panthers 24, Browns 17. 

I'm worried the Panthers offense may struggle and their defense will be the bend-don't-break variety, but gotta think Baker with the Panthers is better than Brissett with the Browns.

I won't predict the score but I think the Panthers get beat tomorrow.  This team of ours isn't nearly as good as we think.

I think it’s better than we think, and it’s been held back by QB, O-line, and playcalling offensively. 
 

We know those things have been addressed, but we will soon see if they have been fixed. 

We are hot garbage.  Just as I thought.

Long season. Power running team is our worst matchup, and it took Baker and the offense too long to get going. 
 

It’s okay if someone disagrees with you btw. You are just as entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. Life’s too short for you to give a poo what I think.

I had a dream about the game last night: Baker threw 5 touchdowns and we won 35-20. So that’s my prediction .

Nice dream.  
 

I predict a Browns 26-24 win and salty feline tears all Sunday evening.
