Cleveland Browns

Another team fighting for a playoff spot is the Cleveland Browns and this is a team that Bills fans should actually be rooting for in Week 17. The Browns are set to play the Pittsburgh Steelers and if they were to win, it would guarantee the two seed for the Bills regardless of the outcome against the Miami Dolphins.

However, like some of the other teams in this group they have an excellent run game with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. This could create problems for the Bills and their defense.

The good news though if the Bills were to face the Browns is that their defense isn’t as strong and this could create a shootout that should favor the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round. The Browns enter Week 17th with the 13th worst pass defense and are allowing 243.5 passing yards per game.
