Washington Commanders by 7
If this isn't a classic David versus Goliath tale in the making, then I don't know what is. On one hand, we've got the Washington Commanders, sitting pretty with a 3-1 record and commanding the NFC East like they're four-star generals. On the other, we've got the Cleveland Browns slogging it out with a 1-3 record, hoping they don't land in a dog pound instead of the AFC North play offs.
Our gridiron gladiators, the quarterbacks, have had contrasting fortunes over the past month. The Commander’s signal-caller, Jayden Daniels, has been putting up some stellar digits with an impressive 111.2 passing efficiency and only one interception. Poor old Deshaun Watson on the other side is floundering with a lackluster 74.4 passing efficiency and has already gifted opponents with 3 interceptions. And no, we aren't counting these as charitable donations, Watson.
In the trenches, the Browns have put up some middling numbers. Jerome Ford, not related to the car or the former President, has rumbled for 288 total yards with a single touchdown. Jerry Jeudy has added 197 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Amari Cooper, who I’m pretty sure isn't related to hangman's noose inventor Thomas Cooper, has chipped in with 148 yards and a sprinkling of touchdowns.
The Commanders, having apparently misunderstood that this isn't an arms race, have unleashed an offensive barrage. Brian Robinson has tallied up 375 total yards and three touchdowns while - fun fact - sharing a name with an English cricket player who once dodged a ball by running away from the pitch. Austin Ekeler and Terry McLaurin aren’t slacking off either, adding 204 total yards and 191 total yards respectively.
Defensively, the Browns have some tough characters, with Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah leading the way with 34 tackles in the last month. For Washington, Bobby Wagner, not to be confused with Robert Wagner who definitely did not kill his wife, has made 38 tackles and racked up 0.5 sack. What's half a sack? A clutch? A pouch? No matter, it's still half more than most of the Browns can muster.
So, without further ado, let’s button this up. And remember, my prediction is like a horoscope - take it with a grain of salt and don't bank your life savings on it.
