Browns vs Commanders Prediction & Picks – NFL Week 17

The Cleveland Browns travel to our Nations capitol to take on the Commanders in a cross-conference battle.

The Browns are out of the hunt for the playoffs but the Commanders are still firmly in the picture and need to pick up a win to stay afloat in the Wild Card race.

In this battle of two teams with different aspirations, who will come out on top?

Here is my analysis, my game prediction, and the Prop of the Game!

The Commanders haven't been commanding

The Commanders lost in San Fransisco last weekend and it wasn't pretty.

The Niners scored at will and gave the Commanders all they could handle on their way to a 37-20 victory.

QB Taylor Heinicke was benched on the day, after throwing 2 pretty bad interceptions and never got the offense moving all day.

Ron Rivera will have a decision to make this week on whether to stick with Heinicke, who has gotten the team to this position, or go back to the season opening starter Carson Wentz.

It is definitely worth monitoring who will be under center in this game and I don't envy Rivera in this case.

Both QBs have a case to make and this game is pivotal to the Commanders playoff hopes.

Here is the current playoff picture in the NFC.

With 2 games to go and everything left to play for, the Commanders will want to take this opportunity against the Browns, who's season is pretty much over.

The Browns are on the outside looking in and can start their offseason prep early.

There is still plenty to play for, as jobs are on the line and momentum into next season will want to be generated.

In this battle of 2 teams with different aspirations at stake, who will come out on top?

Let's dive in!

Prediction

I love the Commanders in this spot.

They still have everything to play for in this game and they are going to come out swinging.

I don't really care who starts at QB here as the Commanders defense and running game will be enough to get them over the finish line in this one.

It might be ugly, but give me the Commanders on the moneyline to grab a big win at home and get one step closer to a Wild card playoff appearance.
