5. They turned out to be more hype but a win is a win

I remember people saying Arizona State was going to get blown out by Michigan State because they only beat Sacramento State 19-7 and these were Arizona State fans. I wasn't worried myself. It gave them practice and a chance to work out the kinks.

I penciled in wins and losses before the 1997 Arizona Cardinals season and there were wins that turned out to be losses and losses that turned out to be wins so it may surprise what games the Browns lose or win.

This far out I'd still give the edge to Cleveland over Arizona but Baker Mayfield was shaky which is probably why Cleveland isn't living up to the hype but the NFL is all about matchups.
