Certainly see your points about the walking-wounded Browns, but I believe I will be playing them with confidence, regardless. These are my four reasons for making this wager: 1) The opener is inticing a bet on the 'Gints. 2) I believe Lee Suggs should be back this week. This offense looked much, much better when he was in there during the preseason. He and Garcia seemed to have a nice rapport going. As bad as the Browns offense was against the Cowboys, I think it could look night and day different this week, with the return of Lee Suggs being the catalyst. 3) This Giants D is very poor. IMO, just the elixir for the Browns O. While the Browns OL is weak, Garcia is mobile enough to be able to find receivers on roll outs, etc. I look for Butch Davis to try to use shotguns, roll outs, and misdirection to compensate for their misery up front. Give Garcia just a little bit of time and this Giants secondary will get torched. 4) While it is easy to look at last week's NYG-WSH final score and think that the Giants are improving, I feel it is very misleading. Think about this: the Giants forced seven turnovers and were still in danger of losing the game! :scared Now that is a telling stat if I've ever seen one. Give me the Browns +2.5 and SU, to bounce back into the W column, despite their injury concerns!
