The Indianapolis Colts (3-1) face off against the Cleveland Browns (3-1) in this week 5 matchup.
The Colts come in to this game 21st in total yards per game on offense (360.3 Yds/Game) passing for 245.0 Yds/game and rushing for 115.3 Yds/Game. The Colts are 1st in total yards allowed on defense per game (236.3 Yds/Game) allowing 159.3 Yds/Game through the air and 77.0 Yds/Game on the ground. The Colts have 10 sacks, 7 interceptions, and 0 fumbles recovered, while giving up 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 0 fumbles lost this season.
The Browns come in to this game ranked 13th in total offense (387.0 Yds/Game) passing for 182.5 Yds/Game and rushing for 204.5 Yds/Game. Browns are 25th in total yards allowed on defense per game (402.3 Yds/Game) allowing 310.5 Yds/Game through the air and 91.8 Yds/Game on the ground. Browns have11 sacks, 4 interception, and 6 fumbles recovered, while giving up 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 2 fumbles lost.
The Colts will be without star linebacker Darius Leonard in this one so I assume the Browns will still lean heavily on the run. The Colts also tend to lean to the run unless forced into a passing situation. I like the Browns to win this one. With one of their stars out, I expect the Colts to be a little vulnerable in this game allowing the Browns to likely take the win here.
