This week’s MNF game features a Broncos team that is making a push for the playoffs against a Browns team that isn’t going anywhere this season but has looked much better since Jameis Winston took over as their starting QB. Here are 5 bold predictions for the game!
RB Nick Chubb has his first 100-yard rushing game of the season

He has been looking better over the past couple of weeks, and the Broncos are tougher against the run than they are vs. the pass.
WR Jerry Jeudy goes for 100 yards and a TD against his former team

As good as the Broncos are against the pass, I just love the Jeudy revenge narrative.
QB Bo Nix rushes for 50 yards and a TD and throws for 250 and 2 TDs

Nix is in the mix for NFL ROTY. He can rack up rushing yards, but he has also gotten better in the pass game.
WR Courtland Sutton has 8 catches for 110 yards and 1 TD

He and Nix have an excellent rapport, and if Nix is going to succeed through the air, Sutton will be involved.
The Broncos defense racks up 6 sacks and forces 3 turnovers

The Broncos have been getting after the QB, and although Winston can make a lot of plays, he also commits a lot of turnovers.
