I am being a little bit more optimistic on this one. I won't give an exact prediction anymore. However, I will at least predict that this offense plays better in this game, with or without Lawrence depending on his concussion situation.

It's on the road. Where this team honestly seems to play better. For starters though, this team is good, but, it's good in spurts. They don't really run the football all that well and they put a lot on Baker Mayfield, which, to be fair, he's played pretty good football for a 7 - 7 team. 24 TD passes to 8 INT's is really good.

I think because we're good against the run though, that, we'll have some opportunities to get after Mayfield and impact the game in a variety of ways. Defensively, they're giving up some plays this year that they normally wouldn't.

I expect a close win with the season officially on the line now, we're on the slippery slope of falling completely out of play off contention and for sure losing this division if they mess around this Sunday. They have to figure out a way to win this game and I think they will.

As tough as the AFC North has been to get through for this team? The AFC South has been a little bit favorable. We beat the Falcons and we beat the Saints. We should be able to pull out of this one in a close one just like we should handle business with the Panthers.
