Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints Picks: Who Will Win Week 11?

On By Littum

NEW ORLEANS — It’s a battle of disappointing teams on Sunday at Caesars Superdome. The Saints are 3-7 and snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Falcons last Sunday.

The Browns are 2-7 and have lost six of their last seven games.

This will be a short week for the Browns as they will turn around and play the Steelers on Thursday night at Huntington Bank Field, but first it’s about taking care of business with Derek Carr and the Saints.

Here are cleveland.com’s staff picks for Sunday’s matchup. The Saints were 1.5-point favorites when picks were requested on Friday.

Dan Labbe (3-6 collected; 4-5 against the spread): Saints 21*, Browns 18

The Saints aren’t great, but the Browns haven’t shown much of an ability to rally outside of the emotional, weird win over the Ravens.

Ashley Bastock (2-7; 3-6): Browns 17*, Saints 14

The Browns haven’t done much to inspire confidence this year, but neither have the Saints. I’m also betting that Kevin Stefanski teams are 3-1 after their bye weeks.

Mary Kay Cabot (2-7; 2-7): Saints 24*, Browns 20

It will come down to who wins the turnover battle. The Saints are fourth in the NFL with 12 interceptions, and Jameis Winston had three picks against the Chargers.

Jimmy Watkins (2-6; 3-5): Browns 27*, Saints 20

New Orleans has allowed 26 or more points in five of its last seven games. In one of the other two, they allowed 23 to the Carolina Panthers.
