The DBN staff predicts the Week 11 games, plus the national media make their predictions for Browns vs. Saints.
Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 11 game between the Browns and Saints:
CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) – Browns 23, Saints 16
The Saints are coming off a nice upset victory in Darren Rizzi’s first game as interim coach. The Browns are coming off a bye. Cleveland has the better defense, which will show up against Derek Carr. Jameis Winston will play well enough to win it in his return to New Orleans against his former team. Revenge game.
CBS Sports (John Breech) – Browns 23, Saints 16
Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) – Browns 23, Saints 20
Jameis Winston will return to New Orleans to battle the man he backed up last year, Derek Carr. The Saints played hard in their first game under interim coach Darren Rizzi, but they needed some breaks in the form of missed field-goal attempts to survive. Cleveland comes off a bye to find a few more yards through the run and pass for a mild road upset.
Sporting News (Bill Bender) – Browns 23, Saints 20
Jameis Winston spent three seasons in New Orleans from 2021-23, and now he’ll get the chance to start against his former team coming out of the bye week. The Saints won their first game under interim coach Darren Rizzi, but they have struggled against the run. Nick Chubb could get on track here, and Myles Garrett could build off a three-sack performance in Week 9. Winston leads an emotional road win.
