typically only play this team 2 or 3 times a year.
this is one of those times.

cleveland spread (+4)
cleveland moneyline (+190)

clowns off a bye and there have been rumblings of changes in the offensive gameplan and play calling. doesnt take a rocket scientist (or apparently it does if youre a cleveland coach) to realize you might just have the best tight end in football on your team. get him the ball early. dont wait until the 3rd quarter to look his way. get frye out of the pocket early too. dont let him become a pinata in the first half.

clowns have mailed in one game (cincinnati) and been right there in the rest.

denver coming off two primetime national tv games and have this one sandwiched with indianapolis up next.

if crennel cant get this team ready to play with all the variables working in cleveland's favor, then he's not the right guy for the job.

the way the schedule sets up, cleveland could conceivably get to 3-4 before they get smacked back to reality with their brutal november schedule.

Well, I have drawn my own conclusions and after observing what I saw in the first half, they are not good.

I honestly feel that Denver - a half point in the second half is like stealing. Just can't see Cleveland scoring at all.

Whats with the avatar, do we like the Bearcats a bit tonight or what??

shanahan might think 10 is enough to win and be really conservative in the 2h with the way the wind is affecting the passing game.

browns D has ok but that ball walker caught when the DB misplayed the ball hurt.

but clowns offense is a joke. denvers defense is solid but theres no excuse for them to be this lame. what were they doing in the bye week.

the one area where cleveland could get back in the game is special teams. cribbs has been close to breaking returns all year. its sad, but that might be their best chance to score to get them back in the game or swing field position

btw - avatar is a sign of respect to spurrier. lol. mets avatar was a one-day thing. and until csu and the horizon get a football league, cant go with that avatar quite yet

I like that the 2H line is sketchy, it makes me think we still have a good chance to cover.

Browns has no O-line...And I hope that injury to Baxter isn't season ending...nothing you can do about having an injury plague season...

spang - i think you were on the money. browns just look lame. very sorry effort. this is one of those games where you dont even get upset with losing the bet. you just apply whats learned to bets down the road this year. if cleveland couldnt get up and perform for this game, that says a lot about the coaching staff and direction this team is going. their schedule is only going to get tougher so they could be a lot of trouble

clowns are terrible

time for shanahan to lock it down like last week, fortunately for denver bettors he only has a line that is -5 and that means the clowns need 12 points for a push.....no chance unless fluke plays happen all over the place.

Theres still plenty of time left and anything can happen, I really think the browns need some kind of score here before the 2 minute warning.

"the bunker"
didn`t look at the games real hard this week...took a bye with the ravens....


but,i wanted to play the brownies...with the bye,and the fact that denver`s offense with plummer usually has their own issues....

so i teased `em small getting 14..to have a little something going sunday.....i thought this would be a dog fight....

well,you can`t hang if you don`t play offense OR defense....

other rhan getting handled away vs the bengals,the browns have been scrappy up till now....in all their games...

a big disappointment...

game in a nutshell?

3rd and 12. denver is TRYING to concede the punt to you by handing the ball off.

... and you allow a 1st down. :nooo:
