Cleveland Browns Week 5 Rooting Map.

Looking at this week’s NFL games to determine the Cleveland Browns’ ideal outcomes.

I’ll be publishing a weekly rooting guide that analyses each game’s best result for the Cleveland Browns.
While the outcome of the game and how it affects the team’s chances of making the playoffs will be a major focus, we will also be considering other factors.

If the Browns have draft picks from another team, it will benefit them if that team struggles so that they can pick higher.
Some teams will have given up on the season and given more time to fringe players in the final three weeks of the regular season, which can significantly change the playoff race.

I’ll add the odds that were available at the time of writing to help you determine who is favored in each matchup.
