Summary
The Cleveland Browns enter the 2021 NFL season with a win total of 10.5. Expectations for high for Cleveland with all 11 offensive starters returning to the lineup from last season. Kevin Stefanski returns from coach of the year accolades in 2020 and hopes to lead Baker Mayfield to a repeat or improvement on his career season. As exciting as the Browns are, there are some concerns from bettors. Underlying metrics in one score games, field goal or less finishes, point differential and overall games missed to injury suggest regression in 2021. The schedule also gets more difficult for this offense. Will the Browns match the hype and contend with Buffalo, Baltimore and KC, or is this too much to handle?

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone, the Simple Handicap for Monday, August 30th. |
| 0:05.8 | Thank you for making me a part of your morning broadcasting this morning from my favorite city on earth. |
| 0:12.1 | And I would vouch for it being the greatest city on earth. |
| 0:16.0 | Medellin, Colombia. |
| 0:17.4 | Very happy to be back here. |
| 0:18.9 | Very happy to be with the family. |
| 0:22.0 | And just enjoy the city. |

| 0:43.4 | and get down here very easily, so excited to be here and excited to ring in NFL 2021 from my |
| 0:48.7 | favorite place on the planet. Continuing along with NFL preseason power ratings, today, the Cleveland |
| 0:57.1 | Browns coming in is the seventh highest rated team, a rating of 72. And this is a very |

| 1:14.3 | comes to these bigger teams that I'm trying to make it so you don't necessarily hear this |
| 1:18.6 | all of it anyway elsewhere, and you can kind of take that different perspective away. |
| 1:23.8 | And so when it comes to Cleveland Brown's win total 10 and a half, a lot of people looking at the AFC North and really having it between them and Baltimore. |
| 1:31.1 | But in general, most folks very, very bullish when it comes to the Cleveland Browns this season. |
| 1:36.6 | And it makes sense when you look at the roster who's around as well as who ultimately came in on the defensive side during the offseason. |
