Now that the Cleveland Browns have won 10 games in this 2023 campaign, the playoffs are nearly certain. The only question is what seed will they play under?
A number 5 seed will work pretty well.
Here is how the post-season games are set up: #1 has a first-week bye, guaranteed all home games, and is always pitted against the weakest-seeded club. The #2 seed plays all home games except against the #1 seed and will play the next weakest-seeded team, same for the #3 and #4 seeds.
So, for the opening week of playoff games in the Wild Card Round, #2 will play #7, #3 will take on #6, and #4 and #5 will compete.
