Broncos vs. Browns score predictions for Week 12
Can the Denver Broncos make it five in a row and begin making some massive waves in the AFC playoff race? We’ll find out on Sunday as they host the 7-3 Cleveland Browns in Week 12. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos opened slight favorites over the Browns at home.
Confidence remains super high with our staff this week and we collectively have the Broncos winning at home here, 16-15. Though not all of us think it’ll go down with a Denver win. Here is how we predicted things individually:
Browns 16, Broncos 13
I am keeping my loss prediction streak going. I am a superstitious human, so having the Broncos win every game I’ve predicted they would lose is like not changing one’s sock during a win streak. You just don’t do it. So in this game, the Browns defense scores and the Broncos can’t do anything offensively. Yeah. – Tim Lynch
Broncos 17, Browns 13
This is going to be a low scoring punt fest. I am worried about the Browns run game having success in this one, but the Broncos defense should continue to force turnovers off rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson. In the end, the Broncos will continue to do what they have been doing during this four game win streak and extend it to a five game win streak and get them above .500. – Scotty Payne
Broncos 13, Browns 10
Once again, the defense will carry the load in this one. The Browns offense was mediocre with Deshaun Watson and won’t be better with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, so the D should have a healthy advantage. The Broncos offense, however, will have its hands full with the #1 ranked defense and Myles Garrett, so don’t expect much offensive improvement this week. It will be a defensive slugfest where the home team will eventually walk away victoriously. – Nick Burch
Broncos 20, Browns 17
This game just feels like one that will be borderline boring because of how much of a grind it will be. Both teams will likely be relying on their ability to run the ball, but in the case that the game has to be won through the air, then Denver has the clear advantage. Mike McGlinchey has been much improved over the last few weeks. Let’s see what happens with him and Myles Garrett. – Ross Allen
Broncos 21, Browns 17
Defense is the order of the day. Both teams have their issues on offense, and it will require some sort of defensive play or special teams score, but the Broncos should come out on top. – Adam Malnati
Broncos 23, Browns 20
Can the Broncos win five in a row by beating the Browns at home? I think so. I believe Denver’s defense can cause some turnovers and get after Dorian Thompson-Robinson, whilst Sean Payton cooks up a game plan to combat Cleveland’s top-ranked defense. Broncos 23, Cleveland 20 in another epic game. – Chris Hart
Browns 17, Broncos 7
Cleveland has an incredible defense. Denver’s has improved immensely from the beginning of the year, but I am not willing to bet on another week of many turnovers. – John Holmes
Broncos 17, Browns 13
Sean Payton has Denver believing it can beat any team in the NFL. And the Broncos keep this winning streak alive over one of the best defenses in the league. The defense keeps the Browns offense in check. The Broncos offense is better in the red zone and Payton has the offensive game plan to counter this really good Cleveland defense. The playoffs come into clearer focus after Sunday. – Ian St. Clair
