2025 Cleveland Browns Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals

by Ryan Cobbett - 8/11/2025

Cleveland Browns predictions Myles Garrett

The Cleveland Browns finished at the bottom of the AFC North and the bottom of the league standings. They finished with a 3-14 record which was tied with the Giants and Titans as the worst in record in the NFL. Their -177-point differential was the second worst mark in the league ahead of only Carolina. They managed just one road win last season which came in Week 2 against Jacksonville. Cleveland finished the season losing six straight.

Cleveland’s offense managed just 300.8 YPG last season which ranked 28th in the NFL and they finished last in the league with just 15.2 PPG. The Browns had three different quarterbacks attempt at least 100 passes last season. Jameis Winston led the team with 2,121 passing yards over 12 games and he finished with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Deshaun Watson finished with 1,148 passing yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions while Dorian Thompson-Robinson finished with 440 yards and six interceptions. The rushing attack wasn’t any better as they finished with just 1,608 rushing yards as a team. Jerome Ford led the way with 565 yards on 104 carries while Nick Chubb finished with 332 yards on 102 carries. Ford and Chubb were tied for the team lead with three rushing touchdowns. Jerry Jeudy led the team with 1,229 receiving yards. He finished with four touchdowns, and he averaged 13.7 yards per reception. David Njoku led the team with five receiving touchdowns while he finished third with 505 yards. Elijah Moore finished second on the Browns with 538 receiving yards, though he recorded just one touchdown.

The defense wasn’t great either as they allowed over 342 YPG, 25.6 PPG, and 129.7 rushing YPG. Grant Delpit was the only Cleveland defender who recorded more than 100 tackles last season as he finished with 111. He also recorded seven TFL’s, one sack and one pass deflection. Myles Garrett led the team with 14 sacks, 22 TFL’s, and was tied for the team lead in forced fumbles with Isaiah McGuire (3). Denzel Ward led the team with 19 pass deflections and two interceptions while also recording 49 tackles.

Key Additions/Losses

Winston and Thompson-Robinson are absent from the quarterback room while Chubb and fellow running backs D’Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines are not returning to Cleveland. Moore joined the Bills, and the offensive line has lost four tackles and two interior linemen from last season. Jordan Hicks retired while Dalvin Tomlinson joined Arizona and James Houston, Maurice Hurst, and Rodney McLeod hit the free agent market.

As for the additions, the Browns added Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to compete for the QB1 job while they boosted the receiver room with DeAndre Carter and Diontae Johnson. The Browns filled some of the holes upfront by adding offensive tackles Jackson Barton and Cornelius Lucas and offensive guard Teven Jenkins. On defense, the front office brought in Maliek Collins, Julian Okwara, Jerome Baker, Devin Bush, Rayshawn Jenkins, and Damontae Kazee.

New Kids on the Block

After a surprising trade to add future draft capital, the Browns drafted Mason Graham out of Michigan to join Garrett on the defensive line. Graham managed 45 tackles on the interior of the defensive line with the Wolverines last season. The Browns drafted linebacker former walk-on Carson Schwesinger out of UCLA. He was one of the top tacklers in the nation last season he should have an immediate impact in the middle of the defense. The Browns also tried to revamp their run game by drafting former Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins in the second round, though he remains unsigned and his status for the upcoming season is unclear. The Browns scratched heads later in the draft as they took both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders to compete in the quarterback room. They also drafted tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and running back Dylan Sampson.

X-Factors

The Future- The Browns need a lot of help, and they may find themselves with the worst record in the league this season. Their trade with Jacksonville is a big win for them as they will have two first round selections in the 2026 draft and they can jump on their quarterback of the future. However, they also need to keep Garrett happy. Drafting Graham could do that in the long run as they can build the defensive line around those two, but the Browns front office will need to hit more homeruns over the course of this regular season and next offseason to find themselves back in a winning window.

Cleveland Browns Schedule Breakdown

Predicted Win Total: 4.5 Games

The Browns could find themselves as the first winless team since 2008. Their schedule is tough and the roster has a lot of holes. On paper, there are no wins with just four games being considered toss ups. They open the season with a brutal four game stretch with a home game against Cincinnati, a road game against Baltimore, a home game against Green Bay, and a road game against Detroit. They end the season on a tough three game stretch with two home games against Buffalo and Pittsburgh and a road game at Cincinnati. I see now way this team wins five games and they would be lucky to reach three. The most intriguing matchups for the Browns come in Week 7 against Miami and Week 14 against Tennessee.

Cleveland Browns Predictions

Cleveland will fall on the south side of the win total and could very well fail to win a single game this season. You can find an alternate win total of under 3.5 at +230 which may be the best bet on the market right now. The Browns will be the worst team in the league with drama in the quarterback room, a weak run game, and a defense with a lot of holes.
