True. You can never count out teams with top end QBs. They always give a team a chance. Rams are competitive and beating them shows the Bengals will probably bounce back from their slow start .
So in the division right now the Browns have a pretty big advantage… it’s probably best we root for them to lose next week vs the ravens..
They still play the following games they should be moderately to heavily favored in:
At the colts
At the Rams
At the Broncos
At the Texans
Home vs the cardinals
Home vs the Jets
Home vs the Bears
They have the following divisional games left
Both Ravens games
At Cinci
Home vs the Steelers
The also play:
Home vs the 49ers
Home vs the Jaguars
Away at Seattle…
Only SF is a really tough non divisional game …and they get them in Cleveland the week following their bye…
Cleveland has what has been the best D in the league through 3 weeks… that scheduling allows them to realistically get to double digit wins …
Cinci has a tough schedule after the next two weeks… they face the Titans and Cardinals on the road, and will do so without a 100% Burrow
They also face Houston and Indy at home.
Those four games are their most winnable games…
After that they have 4 division games left.. both vs The Steelers, a road game at Baltimore and a home game at Cleveland to end the season
They also have home games vs Seattle, Minnesota and Buffalo
And road games vs KC, Jax, and SF…
If they win all four easy games, and split the 4 division games, that puts them at 7 wins… they still have to get at least 3 more wins from Seattle, Minnesota, Buffalo, KC,Jax and SF… that isn’t as easy a road as any of its division foes…
Baltimore is going to be traveling a ton…from Europe to the west coast.. they face Cleveland and Pittsburgh on the road the next two weeks, then over the next ten weeks they travel to London to face the Titans, Arizona, LA, SF, and Jacksonville…
They have all their home division games left, but those will all be dogfights…
They also face Detroit, Seattle,the Rams, and Miami in baltimore…
the only games they should be heavily favored in are the Cards game in arizona and the Rams game at home..
