If you are still up in the air on this game.... just look at quality of opponents tonight, in terms of physicality, defense, style of play you won't find much of a match up with as big of a disparity.....
Remember cleveland is playing AFC north opponents...AND NFC east opponents. combined record 38-28 of opponents. 6 teams with a winning record (5 really, played Baltimore twice), and 2 with losing records.
Denver is playing in the no pass defense, afc west.... combined record of opponents combined record 28-37 2 teams with winning records , 2 .500 record and 4 losing records
rank in defense of browns opponents in order of their schedule
9,1,2,21,3,4,23,2 they have played the the top 4 defenses in the nfl each...plus the #2 baltimore once more for good measure.
the rank of overal defense of broncos opponents in order of schedule
28,26,24,31,6,23,14,22
oddly enough they beat tb the # 6 overall D...
but they have only played 2 teams that better then half of the nfl in defense. the other 6 teams are ALL in the bottom 1/3 of the nfl...
just food for thought.
