NFL Cleveland Browns vs Washington Commanders expert predictions
It’s fair to say that Watson has not yet played up to expectation since returning from suspension and becoming the Browns’ starting quarterback. As for the Commanders, despite being on the cusp of a playoff place they have opted to switch back to Carson Wentz as their signal-caller. This is a game between two teams with issues at the quarterback position. As a result, expect points to come at a premium, but on the whole, this motivated Washington team should secure the victory with postseason implications on the line.
