The Great Zombini, the greatest football prognosticator in the history of Browns fandom, is back for another year with his "crystal clear crystal ball", Zelda the Wonderdawg, and Zoey, my new assistant.

Together we shall provide the most accurate analysis of the AFC North available on the Interwebs.

 

Here is how the first week shall be written:

 

Buffalo at Baltimore, Sunday, 1:00 PM

The Great Zomboni feels that both of these teams will greatly disappoint their fan bases this year, but someone has to win this one, so we are going with the home team. RAVENS 24 BILLS 20

 

Cincinnati at New York Jets, Sunday 1:00 PM

The Jets have a nice veteran feel this year, and a tough as nails defensive head coach ... they will make some noise in the AFC. The Bungles are great at making noise, bad at winning in January. And this week, they will be bad at winning in September too. Miss Hue much? JETS 34 BUNGLES 20

 

Cleveland at Philadelphia, Sunday, 1:00 PM

This one should be over quickly as the Eagles have decided to throw Carson Wentz to the wolves. Wentz is fresh off a Missouri Valley Conference roster with a grand total of 38 mostly bad preseason NFL snaps. Ray Horton's aggressive D should eat the rookie alive, and Robert Griffin III should have fun with his new toys: Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman BROWNS 30 EAGLES 7

 

Pittsburgh at Washington, 7:30 PM, Monday Night Football

Lots of talk about the Steelers being favorites to go to the Super Bowl this year. TGZ laughs out loud. Zelda laughs so hard she chokes on her Milkbone. Zoey laughs so hard she gets a black eye. A highly questionable defense, a running back who can't stay on the field, and perhaps the greatest gap between starting QB and backup in the NFL ... one hit to the head and Bozo the Clown is your QB for two weeks. Ya, sounds like a Super Bowl recipe. Anyway, the Redskins are similarly built, all offense, no D .. but Kirk Cousins should get the home win with some great weapons and a rabid crowd behind him. REDSKINS 33 STEELERS 27

**2015** Results ... Prev .... This ..... YTD
Straight-up ........... 39-21 ..... 4-0 .... 43-21
Vs. the spread ..... 33-26-1 .. 2-2 .... 35-28-1

 

Pittsburgh @ Washington (+3.0)

I believe Pittsburgh's talent at best tread water this year. They were so impressed with their rookie CBs they drafted in round one and two that they traded for Gilbert. Additionally their stealth WR, Bryant is not available for the year. Still the team is about as good as last year's, but that team includes Bell and he ain't around the first three weeks.

With their 4-game win streak into the 2015 playoffs, Washington may have as much momentum as any team coming into 2016. I think it shows in this game even although reality sets in down the line.

Prediction: WSH 34 PTG 24

Final:

Cincinnati @ NYJ (+2.5)

I thought the Jets overachieved last year... then for some reason they screwed around resigning one of the major reasons they were able to overachieve. Makes no sense to help insure you regress.

The loss of WRs Jones and Sanu to FA endangered the Bengals' status as the most balanced team in the AFCN... but they still are. Between suspensions and injuries they may never be more vulnerable than they are in Week 1. But they are playing the Jets...

Prediction: CIN 20 NYJ 13

Final:

Buffalo @ Baltimore (-3.0)

The self-proclaimed, winners of the off-season vs. the AFCN's hot mess... I'd rather watch a B-movie.

Tyrod will be the difference.

Prediction: BUF 30 BLT 13

Final:

 

Cleveland @ Philadelphia (-4.0)

2016 feels like the year of the inexperienced QB... Siemian... Prescott... Wentz??? Not really feeling Carson here, but don't see him being a drag on his team like I do Garropollo (Garro? Polo!) But I digress... With a run game, an O-Line and a D, Wentz does not have to excel to beat us... just not shit the bed.

On our side we have youth... but not our #1 WR's...

Prediction: PHI 27 CLE 17

Final:

It was a long, grueling interview process this year, so many qualified candidates with so many interesting qualities, but in the end, Zoey stacked up the best.

I could never bet $$$ against the BROWNS, OHIO STATE or ND they'd screw me every time.

 

And what's Zoey for, if Z gets tired and wants a nap? Yuk, yuk.

CLEVELAND +4 should be good might even win 27-24 OT?

CINCINNATI -2' over the Jets by 5

BALTIMORE -3 doesn't cover vs Buffalo

PITTSBURGH -3 gets surprised by Washington in DC close 1 point game

 

And I like da' Bears +6 vs Houston, believe it or not Minnesota -2' at Tennessee.

What a freaking brutal week to try to beat the spread! OAK wins outright on a 2 pt conversion , NE beats AZ in AZ and more with two games left.

 

Teams improve most from week 1 to 2 so do bookmakers.
