HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Cleveland will be lucky to win 6-7 games this year.

The media's overhyping of this team has had its intended effect - to get most Cleveland fans overexcited about the Browns' prospects. The team may now proceed into oblivion as usual, leading to the typical crash and burn of emotions fans set themselves up for year after year.

Unless they were tanking on purpose in the preseason, I've seen nothing out of the defense that indicates they are capable of keeping the many great offensive weapons they will face this year in check.

The Browns' O could score 50 - the opponent will score 60.

No defense, one of the league's toughest schedules, and a strong likelihood of injuries exposing what little depth they have at many key positions - not a good combination.

Don't believe the hype.
