8. Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns are yet another team that finds itself sitting at 7-6 with four games remaining. While their passing game leaves something to be desired, this is a team built to run the football behind a good offensive line and get after the opposing quarterback with Miles Garrett and company. Their schedule down the stretch isn’t a cakewalk, but it isn’t the hardest on this list either.

vs Las Vegas Raiders
at Green Bay Packers
at Pittsburgh Steelers
vs Cincinnati Bengals

The Browns probably need to find a way to win three of their four remaining games to lock up a playoff spot. While that won’t be easy, I like their odds better than either the Broncos or Bengals with their remaining schedules. If they do get into the playoffs their style of play could make things tough for their opponents.

Next up, a dangerous team with some hard games left on the schedule.
