Experts Heavily Going Against Browns vs Texans This Week

As the Cleveland Browns get ready for their Week 10 game against the Houston Texans, the team will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak.

After a strong start to the year, the Browns now find themselves sitting at 5-4 on the season, coming off two tough losses in a row. The Browns have been able to put together strong performances on both sides of the ball, despite the losses in recent weeks. 

Cleveland will be taking on the Houston Texans this week at home, giving them a good chance to get back in the win column. The Browns are the better team based on the year so far, but the Texans can be a sneaky matchup for this club.

Houston will be entering the game with a record of 3-5 for the season, with the group starting to figure things out on the field. After a very slow start to the year, the Texans have slowly begun their climb back toward playoff contention.

This game will be huge for both sides, and there is expected to be some poor weather in the Cleveland area that could impact the contest. But each side will be ready to go, with the game having a different meaning to the seasons of each team.

Analysts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford of Bleacher Report made picks for every game on the docket for Week 10. However, only one out of the seven decided to roll with the Browns this week at home.

Only Hanford picked the Browns to take down the Texans at home this week, with the others showing a lack of faith in Cleveland's ability to respond. This could also be based on how Houston has been playing, more than on how the Browns have played over the last few weeks.

Cleveland will be going back to starting quarterback Deshaun Watson this week, after he missed the team's last game due to a concussion. Watson led the team to a 5-3 record as the starter, and the Browns are hoping he can help them get back on track against the Texans.

If Watson is able to stop the bleeding for the Browns this week, it would justify the decision to start him over backup Shedeur Sanders, who filled in nicely for the veteran a week ago. But only time will tell if this ends up being the right decision for the Browns.
