Texans vs. Browns 

The Cleveland Browns have won three straight and the last being an impressive win on the road over the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3.  The Houston Texans have lost four of their last five games and they now have a new starting quarterback in Ryan Mallet.

However, while Mallet has a strong arm and is talented, I don’t think he can pull the Texans out of the slide they’re in.  The Browns have found a formula for winning games behind quarterback Brian Hoyer and their defense improves with each passing game.

The Texans won’t go down easily, especially if J.J. Watt has anything to say about it, but the Browns have all the momentum on their side and will get the win at home.    NFL Picks
