If the Dolphins defense can stop the run like they did against the Raiders and force Delhomme or Mccoy to pass they may be able to pull out their second victory at home. Peyton Hillis is a beast and if he gets going in this one the Dolphins will be in trouble.

I like the way the Dolphins went back to bringing back the run game (not so much the wildcat) and opening up the play book a little more. Henne seems a little more confident since the benching but he still needs to learn how to throw the damn ball away instead of forcing it for an int especially in the red zone.

Marshall still nursing his hamstring and may be out in this one but it looks like my Dolphins didn't miss him against the Raiders as Henne spread the ball around to other wr's and was successful.

I rarely wager on my Dolphins but I may just put some on this one but still thinking...

CLEVELAND  +4.5 (LARGE)

I dont see browns being able to score much in this game.  miami's defense has come to life, brandon marshall is back, phillip merling is finally gonna play his 1st game of season, and they still have hopes of a wildcard while browns season is done.

another reason to like miami in this spot:  jake delhomme.  if mccoy was starting, id stay away, but jake delhomme is always good for a couple of picks when playing a good defense.  and well, xmas is coming soon, so im sure jake will show up with a bag full of gifts for miami's secondary.

MIAMI ALL DAY

 I don't like that I hear Merling is out of shape though...the Dolphins should be able to run on the Browns average run defense if we stick to the running game

Well my Saturday plays went sour so why not see if it continues..The Browns have been a quick start team this season out scoring their opponents in the first half only to blow it in the 4th by being out scored by the other team.

It's been a very long time since I wagered on my Fins but what the heck...I made terrible picks on Saturday anyway...

Dolphins final -4.5

Aloha and good luck to all

Fins @home should be able to stop the Browns and cover the spread IMO !  

Henne and his int's continue to lose games for my Dolphins

Well I guess I shouldn't wager on my Dolphins games

Dolphins final

Congrats to all the winners and props to the Browns fans and their victory

Happy Holidays
