The Cleveland Browns (5-5) head to Detroit as 10.5-point favorites against the winless Lions in a crucial Week 11 matchup. Coming off a devastating 45-7 loss to the Patriots, the Browns aim to bounce back and move above .500.

Cleveland needs to avoid looking ahead to upcoming divisional games against Baltimore and focus on executing against Detroit. The Browns' running game will be key in controlling possession and limiting the Lions' opportunities.

The Lions (0-8-1) showed signs of life last week, earning their first non-loss of the season in a 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh. Quarterback uncertainty looms as Jared Goff is questionable with an oblique injury, potentially forcing Detroit to turn to their backup.

Keys to Victory:

• Browns must take Detroit seriously and maintain focus
• Cleveland should establish the run to control tempo
• Lions' aggressive mindset under Dan Campbell could pose upset threat
• Detroit needs strong QB play, whether from Goff or backup

The Browns cannot afford to overlook the Lions despite their winless record. Detroit has proven capable of competing, as shown in their recent tie and close loss to the Rams. Cleveland must execute their gameplan effectively to secure this must-win road game.
