4. Browns Rush For 150 Yards
Is it Kevin Stefanski? It is the duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt taking the next step? Whatever the reason, the Browns sit comfortably at the top of the league with 204.5 rushing yards per game. The Colts have a good defense but the Browns have their ground game figured out.
This is a bold prediction for another reason than just going up against the Colts’ defense. Chubb is hurt and will miss the next month, at least. This leaves Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson. He broke out against the Cowboys and carried the ball 13 times for 95 yards.
Hunt has been dynamic all season with three touchdowns on the ground. He has added eight receptions, two of which finished in the end zone.
The duo of Hunt and Johnson will do just fine until Chubb returns. That will be obvious this week and make Browns’ fans exhale after losing their No. 1 back for several weeks.
