I will have to look into tickets for the Browns at Houston game on Dec. 4. Watson facing his old team.

Positive on that last part…I like Tampa and NO coming to Cleveland at times when the weather will probably be lousy.
And the Bills game is just before their Thanksgiving game.
And maybe the Commandos and the Squealers are out of it when we play them the last two weeks

From TSN. FWIW. 10-7 ? We'll see in the AFCN this year. No breaks in the H/A after the week 9 BYE but I like the later date. Long time until we can get a better guess on W/L. GO BROWNS !
~~~~~~~~~~ ? ~~~~~~~~~~
Cleveland is playing a third-place schedule in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL. The Browns play the AFC East and NFC South in this year's playoffs, and the extra NFC game is on the road at Washington. The third-place slot landed games with the Texans and Chargers.
The Browns face eight teams that won at least nine games in 2021.
Browns strength of schedule
The Browns have the 15th-easiest schedule in the NFL. Their 2022 opponents finished with a 142-145-2 record, a winning percentage of .495.
The AFC North features two playoff teams from 2021 in Cincinnati, which reached Super Bowl 56, and Pittsburgh. The Ravens had an 8-9 record, same as Cleveland. The other returning playoff teams on the schedule are Buffalo, New England and Tampa Bay.
Cleveland has eight home games in 2022, and the teams visiting FirstEnergy Stadium had a combined record of 36-34 on the road last season.
Toughest tests: Four teams on Cleveland's schedule – Cincinnati, New England, New Orleans and Tampa Bay – had at least six road wins in 2021. The Patriots beat the Browns 45-7 last season, and Tom Brady is 7-1 as a starter against the Browns with the only loss coming in 2010.
Road trips to Buffalo and Miami won't be easy, either. Those teams were a combined 13-6 at home last season.
Biggest breaks: The road schedule is negotiable outside of those games. Cleveland must take advantage of the stretch against Carolina, Atlanta and Washington. Those three teams finished 6-17 at home and head into the 2022 season with quarterback uncertainty on varying levels.
Of course, Watson also could face his former team on the road. The Texans are in full rebuild mode, and they were 2-7 at home last season. If the Browns can sweep those four games, then they should at minimum be in the AFC playoff hunt late in the season.
Bottom line: It comes down to success within the AFC North. The Browns were 3-3 in divisional games last season, and that included a sweep of the Bengals. Stefanski is 7-6 (including playoffs) the last two seasons against Baltimore (1-3), Pittsburgh (2-3) and Cincinnati (4-0). Joe Burrow, for all his success in two seasons, has yet to lead the Bengals to a victory against the Browns. Those games will be testy this year.
Cleveland still had a 6-3 home record in 2021, too. Watson changes the dynamic of the offense, and despite the risks and a possible suspension he comes to a talented football team capable of winning the division and returning to the playoffs.
The Browns’ win total is not on the board yet, mainly because the number of games Watson misses could tilt that number down in a hurry. We’re going to stay on the low side knowing that double-digit wins are possible.
Record prediction: 10-7

Been to Houston twice for Browns games. The Space City Browns backers did a great job, including booking a block of rooms at the hotel. If it had been any closer, it would have been in the stadium parking lot.
& as you know, if you ever want to head north to Cleveland there's a ticket with your name on it for my 100 level 20 yard line seats.

Bengals top 5
Then Steelers
Then us
Then Ravens
NFC East has the least dificult while the AFC West has the most difficult.

11-5-1, tie @New Orleans

Steelers will only travel 6500 miles for their entire schedule. Seattle is like 30k.
Browns about 10k.
East coast bias?
East coast bias?
Or.... geographic location of each team?
Not everything has to be a conspiracy...
