No play for me on this game at this point. Just bored at the moment and wanted to spew some thoughts.
Week 6, Cleveland beats Pittsburgh and loses Alex Mack for the season in the process. Since then they've gone 2-1, playing the three worst teams in the league; JAX, OAK, TB. They're currently sitting at 5-3 in what appears, on paper, to be possibly the toughest division in football. If you watched those three games you would know that three consecutive losses was not out of the question, especially this past week against TB. It took a blocked punt and a blocked field goal among other tiny miracles.
What I'm trying to figure out is if this current line of Cincy -6 is an overreaction to the Browns 5-3 record or an overreaction to the return of AJ Green and the Bengals being "back on track". My eyes are telling me that the Browns are not nearly as good as their record would indicate. They cannot stop the run and Hoyer is slowly coming apart at the seams. I was expecting this game to open around -8.5/-9, so obviously my first instinct is to bet the Bengals.
It's been a long time since Cleveland has played any games that mattered. I'm thinking Cincy can win this game easy. Week 15, when the rematch is played in Cleveland, and after the Browns have taken their rightful place in the AFC North (last place), maybe that game has meaning also? As in they have a chance to play spoiler.
Can someone state their case for backing the Brownies here? And can you do it without mentioning past history and close games and battle of Ohio, etc..

I noticed that's Covers members' new way of capping a game.
