Should we sympathize with the bookmakers’ opinion that the New Orleans Saints and the Cleveland Browns have equal chances of success in the 11th round match of the NFL? This and other exciting questions will be addressed in our predictions. Both teams are in mediocre form. Therefore, the match could reserve quite a few surprises.
New Orleans
For New Orleans, the fall period was overshadowed by a seven-game losing streak. However, thanks to targeted changes, it has avoided further decline. The team does not yet appear to be the main outsider, as it has enough resources to achieve acceptable results. Dennis Allen left the post of coach due to numerous failures, which immediately led to positive consequences. A week ago, Darren Rizzi’s gang won a close fight against Atlanta (20:17), making a decisive breakthrough in the second quarter (17:7).
Cleveland
Cleveland also cannot boast of exceptional stability, settling for the status of mediocrity without powerful potential. Last season, the team reached the playoffs (top-16), but failed to break Houston’s resistance (14:45). Stefanski is also at risk of losing his coaching position, as a serious decline has long since turned into a full-fledged crisis. Specifically on the road, the boys suffered three consecutive defeats, offering tangible resistance to Philadelphia (16:20) and Las Vegas (16:20).
Predictions from the editorial team
In this matchup, clear preference should be given to New Orleans. After the aforementioned tactical changes, the hosts are clearly in a maximum fighting mood, and we expect that thanks to the impressive support of the fans they can once again delight with an impressive performance. The victory of the home team is the priority choice for the match.
