Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 11 game

November 13, 2024

Jameis Winston returns to the Bayou this weekend as his Cleveland Browns take on the New Orleans Saints.

A week ago, the Saints became the first team in the NFL to fire their head coach. They’d lost seven straight games and were looking like contenders for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. However, their first game with interim head coach Darren Rizzi resulted in a 20-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Sure, that win only happened because Falcons’ kicker Younghoe Koo missed three field goals, but it’s still a win nonetheless.

Can they ride that momentum and defeat a Browns squad coming off their bye? That’s what we’re here to find out. Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 11 showdown.

Lorenzo Reyes: Saints 24, Browns 14

Cleveland is a wild card and if Jameis Winston is careless with the ball, it’s hard to see the Browns stringing wins together. The Saints had more energy and focus under Darren Rizzi. I think that continues in what’s essentially a pick ‘em.

Tyler Dragon: Saints 20, Browns 17

Derek Carr and the Saints had a quality win last week under interim head coach Darren Rizzi. New Orleans’ seven-game losing streak is over. Now they have a chance to go on a mini winning streak versus a quarterback in Jameis Winston who they are familiar with.

Richard Morin: Saints 13, Browns 7

Not even really sure what to say about this one other than I would stay far away from it. There are better plays out there.

Jordan Mendoza: Saints 24, Browns 20

Some renewed optimism in New Orleans? Maybe a new coach is what the Saints need. The offense continues the momentum against another equally bad team.
