Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos predictions

The Browns enjoyed a rare victory in Week 12 as backup quarterback Jameis Winston led them to a gritty, unlikely win in snowy conditions against AFC North rivals Pittsburgh. 

However, with a record of 3-8 and a devilish set of remaining fixtures, the Browns know that the playoffs are out of reach and they might struggle to scale the same heights when they visit the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.

Besides fairly predictable losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos have won seven of their last ten games and quarterback Bo Nix, who is getting better every week, is pushing to be named Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Nix has thrown 16 touchdowns and just two interceptions in that solid ten-game run, while Denver's defence has also surprised in being one of the best in the NFL, heading into Week 13 having conceded the second-fewest points per game.

Cleveland tend to rise to the challenge against divisional rivals, as shown in narrow defeats to the Ravens and Steelers this season, but they’re not the same team otherwise. They have won just one game on the road and their once-reliable defence has been poor.

Denver keep finding ways to win and this is a good chance for them to dominate another error-prone team at home.
