After being predicted to take down the Bengals in week eight, the Browns had a bye week in week nine. Now, it will be the Browns Vs Dolphins in week ten.
The Dolphins have made some improvements with their acquisition of Tyreek Hill, and with some players like Jaylen Waddle look to take the next step.
Can the Browns Execute On Defense?
The Browns should be able to get some good pressure on the Dolphins. The Dolphins’ offensive line could struggle. They have Terron Armstead at left tackle, but everyone else is pretty young and they could have trouble with Jadeveon Clowney and Myles Garrett.
With the Dolphins’ offensive line being given a tough task, that will trickle down to Tua Tagovailova. Tua will probably still struggle to get acclimated to the NFL, and that could stall the offense.
The biggest problem the Browns will probably face is containing Tyreek Hill. Last year, Hill had nine touchdowns on 1,239 yards, and he’s also one of the fastest players in the league.
We can assume Denzel Ward will be on Hill, but Tyreek has gotten the best of him before.

But Ward is definitely a better player than he was before.
With a somewhat weak offensive line and some good plays by the Browns’ cornerbacks, the Browns can have a good day on defense.
Browns Can Be Successful on Offense
This should be the first game that Deshaun Watson plays if he is getting an eight-game suspension as expected.

With Deshaun possibly back, the Browns will immediately have an advantage.
The Dolphins have a solid defensive line, but Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt can just be so good when they play together that it may not even matter.
Obviously, the Browns’ offensive line is very good, so they should be able to stop players like Melvin Ingram, Jaelen Phillips, and Emmanuel Ogbah.
David Njoku should continue to prove why he is tight end number one, and Amari Cooper will still be a good receiver for the Browns.
Browns Vs Dolphins: Who Wins?
With Tua probably continuing to struggle in the NFL and a Browns defense that should put pressure on him, the Browns should get the win in Miami. And also with Deshaun possibly being back, the Browns’ offense should be moving well.
Final Score Prediction: Browns 28, Dolphins 17
Browns Record Through Nine Games: 7-2
