The reason for 10 or more but no playoffs is due to our division which could take 13 Ws to win IMO.
I said 10, no playoffs, but it was because of your spreads. I think we win 8 minimum...10-11 max.
No telling how that falls in the playoff hunt.
I can't vote because I don't see the option for my prediction. My prediction would fall under the category of 8--10 games. Six or seven games seems way too low so I can't choose the 6-9 option. 10+ is pretty optimistic although I think 10 is achievable. I think our record will be similar to last year's. Maybe one game better. I say we win 9 games.
I chose the 6-9 option because Brissett and/or Dobbs is going to need A LOT of things going right for them in regards to injuries, WRs stepping up and a not-too-deep defense. How often do all these details fall into place for an NFL team, let alone the Browns?
And to think Watson will play lights out game #12 (whatever our record is by then) is not reasonable.
Just too many things have to go right - especially in our division - to predict much more than this.
Hope I'm wrong.
My gut's telling me it's going to be a mediocre season of 7-9 wins.
Never give up! Never surrender!!!
Playoffs!
I think the 6-9 games is right in the range. We can win some games in the beginning with an easy schedule and some at the end with Watson back, but those middle 6-8 games is a brutal stretch

I'm thinking about the same thing...
