The Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns in the last game of the season on Sunday in what is seemingly becoming an annual tradition. Since the NFL moved to having all divisional matchups in Week 17, the Steelers and Browns have faced off 6 times in the last 7 years. This “annual tradition” comes nearly exactly four months after another annual NFL tradition – people overestimating how good Cleveland will be. This year, with the Brown and Orange on the cusp of a winless season, makes those predictions extra hilarious.
I really think this Browns team can win 7-8 games THIS year!

Look at the #Browns schedule again and tell me we can't win 8 games

Browns are going to win at least 8 games this year and people are going to freak out.

Some others had more tempered expectations, but were still waaaay off.
With the new NFL season about to kick off it's time for some bold predictions.
1) The Browns win at least 6 games.— Sam Farley (@FarleyWrites) September 7, 2017
3. The Browns will win @ least 7 games.

Garrett is the type of guy that can help a team win 4-6 games… Without him, #browns are a 2-4 win team…

I'm really hoping the Browns can win a couple of games this season.

Others were just insane.
Browns win 10 games this year. Yeah that's right 10. #Believe

Listening to @CLETalkingHeads and a caller just said he expects the Browns to win 10-12 games… Are we really this delusional?

People were really into this Browns-Jets thing.
The Browns will win more games than the Jets this year

Cleveland may in fact get a parade AND Joe Haden might get a ring.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE FINISHED THE PRESEASON 4-0? The 0-16 Lions! The Browns will be lucky to win 6 games!
— Anders to GITMO (@TheBrewCrewFeed) September 1, 2017
The Cleveland Browns finished the preseason 4-0. Are those the only games they'll win this year?
