NFL Week 6 picks, predictions:

Jeremy Cluff writes: "The Browns will come out on the winning end of a very close game this week after their close loss to the Chargers in Week 5."

Bill Speros writes: ""Happy Hour" is illegal in Massachusetts. "Zappe Hour" continues until further notice, or the return of Mac Jones. Bill Belichick once coached the Cleveland Browns. They loved him so much, the team left town just to get rid of him. Now Bill is back, with rookie QB Zappe under center. The Patriots curb-stomped the Lions with 176 yards rushing in Week 5. The Browns gave up 238 yards on the ground to the Chargers. The Patriots defense will be the difference this time."

It writes: "The Patriots’ defensive performance was admirable in Week 5, but the task at hand should be tougher with Nick Chubb and the Browns on deck. New England ranks 26th in rushing yards allowed per game (135.8). Expect Kevin Stefanski to make the run game a focal point in this contest and for them to cover in a Week 5 win."

Fan Duel: Patriots 21, Browns 20

Larry Rupp writes: "Momentum is going in opposite directions when it comes to these two teams. New England flexed its defensive muscles in Week 5 and got the job done with third-string quarterback Bailey Zappe leading the way. The players have to feel like there is a chance to turn the season around in the AFC East now. The Browns suffered another gut punch, though. All three of Cleveland's losses have come by three points or fewer. Returning home gives them an opportunity to bounce back, but I side with the Patriots here. Head coach Bill Belichick knows how to beat the Browns, posting an 8-1 record in nine meetings."
