No. 1: The Cleveland Browns

The 2018 Cleveland Browns are expected to be the franchise’s most talented squad in the last half-decade. The past two seasons have produced little in the win column but have had the effect of stocking plenty of young talent.

This third season for head coach Hue Jackson will be important as the team finally made a stand and drafted their franchise quarterback. If Jackson is unable to win more than a few games, then it is likely he will not be coaching in Cleveland next season.

The entire team will be pressured to win now despite still being too young and too raw to actually compete with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the divisional crown.

Luckily for the Falcons by the time their game against the Browns rolls around, rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield could possibly have unseated veteran Tyrod Taylor for the starting job.

If Taylor is in the lineup, I could foresee a close game. If the Browns have made the switch to Mayfield, I predict a rough Sunday for the rookie passer.
