THE BROWNS BOARD

This Week in the AFC North


Zombo

Recommended Posts

Leaving this week to our imagination? In addition to an accountant, Z, you need a traveling secretary...

 

 

**2016 Week 8** ... Prev ..... This ..... YTD
Straight-up ............ 15-13 .... 1-0-1 ... 16-13-1
Vs. the spread ...... 10-18 ..... 1 - 1 .... 11-19

 

Odd week this week with an unusual 3-bagger for our consideration(s). Very uneven bye schedule for the AFCN this year with BLT and PGH last week, the solo by the Bengals this week and our solo not for another 4 weeks???

 

PTG @ BLT (-2.5)

Game essentially comes down to "do you trust Ben to sit the entire game?" If he does, then BLT has the edge. If not...

Add that the pressure to play him given PTG's slim lead in an AFCN that looks poised to produce only one playoff spot will ill-advisedly influence their highly competitive HC and...

Ben goes in...

PTG 27 BLT 17

BLT 21 PTG 14 - LL/LL

 

DAL @ CLE (+6)

Some make guarantees... some make bookings...

This is the trap game for the 'Boys and we spring the trap... BIGLY...

Zeke is "held" under 100 leaving Zac to beat us with his arm if he can... and most weeks he could, but not this one.

Meanwhile our O is returning starters as their D sheds them. We pass to set up the run.

CLE 23 DAL 17... Book it!

DAL 35 CLE 10 - L/L

 

**2016 Week 9** ... Prev ..... This ..... YTD
Straight-up .......... 16-13-1 .... 0-3 ... 16-16-1
Vs. the spread ...... 11-19 ...... 0-3 .... 11-22

Cowboys (-7, 48 ½) at Browns 1:00 PM EST

 

Dallas

Record: 6-1 SU, 6-1 ATS, 4-3 UNDER

Super Bowl Odds: 10/1

 

The Cowboys started the season with a one-point loss to the Giants, but Dallas has rolled to six consecutive victories and covers. Rookie Dak Prescott posted his second-worst quarterback rating of the season in last Sundays 29-23 victory over the Eagles, but he connected on a game-winning touchdown pass to Jason Witten in overtime. Dallas is unbeaten in three road contests, while being listed at its highest favorite price of the season regardless of venue. The Cowboys have won five straight as a favorite against AFC opponents, while posting a 3-2 ATS record in this span.

 

Cleveland

Record: 0-8 SU, 2-6 ATS, 6-2 OVER

Super Bowl Odds: 9999/1 <--- that's the cutoff now. So do these Vegas guys know crap about our BROWNS? We'll see about that, 2-6 ATS make it 1-8 SU and 3-6 ATS after today? ;)

 

There has been plenty of heartbreak recently with Clevelands sports teams after the Indians blew a 3-1 lead in their World Series defeat to the Cubs. The Browns havent had much luck either as they try to win their first game since Week 14 of last season as Cleveland is the only winless team in the league. Cody Kessler will start at quarterback for the Browns after missing last weeks loss to the Jets with a concussion. The former USC standout can only do so much as the Cleveland defense has been shredded this season by allowing an average of 421.5 yards per game and nearly 30 points per game.

 

Best Bet: Dallas -7.... HA! We'll see about that today on FOX, the people who brought you the World Series :(

Man that sucks Indians losing to the Cubs...that means the Steelers wont win the Super Bowl.

 

You know the story...the Cavs win the NBA Championship, the Penguins win the Stanley Cup.

 

You don't think we're gonna let you celebrate championships by yourself do ya?
