Cleveland Browns vs Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Chiefs here, but I’m not touching it. KC has been playing with fire lately, including their two-point win over the Chargers. The Chiefs managed 298 total yards (202 passing) and 20 first downs in that one while giving up 288 yards and 20 first downs on the other side. It was Kansas City’s sixth straight win decided by just one score. The Chiefs have been at 21 points or below in four of the last five games as well.
As for the Browns, they held Pittsburgh to just 15 first downs and 267 yards overall in their latest loss. The three turnovers and nine penalties for 81 yards really threw a wrench into Cleveland’s plans, though. The Browns have given up 27 or more points in four straight losses, so KC should have plenty of scoring opportunities in this one.
