    And WEEK 7 THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL on Thursday October 20 is just a week away.  Yes the BROWNS can't  look ahead and have to concentrate on Arizona and a good team with a good exciting quarterback and CLE -3 will have their hands full........but we can !!   ?

    Right now Cleveland is a 6 point favorite at home over Denver,  the under/over is about 44.5.  They then close the 3 game home stretch before going on to WEEK 9 at Cincinnati and then NE both 1 pm games.

    It's simple beat AZ and then they should be a nice -6 or -7 favorite against Denver and set them up nicely against long time WEEK 8 old rival Pittsburgh....... and the season will be about half gone.  Time sure flies when you're having fun !

    GO BROWNS,  beat Arizona and then move on.......baby !

    I'm 4-1 on the season (blew the Vikings game) and I have a very strange feeling we're not just going to win, but we're going to put it ON them. I know that doesn't make sense, but I feel it. First game where offense, defense, and special teams all play well. We're getting a defensive TD or special teams score, it's time.

    And in the FWIW department the line is still CLE -3 across the board plus next Thursday night CLE -6 hosting DEN just a week away.

    I like CLE -3 but it would be better if a few more hands were on deck and ready to play, AZ is still the only 5-0 team left in the NFL.  A strange number going into WEEK 6 I think the 72 Dolphins are really safe that might end this Sunday starting at 4:05.  🙂

    A lot of those things (wx, injuries, etc) are the game day and game time decisions when it comes to wagering. Most bets and picks I know by Tuesday or Wednesday of any week.

    Field conditions and late scratches can alter that  -but-  sometimes I bet early and maybe bet against late to take advantage of the lines or call off a bet and you only risk the 10% vig at most and occasionally (rarely) hit the middle.  I've bet for over 40+ years and mainly for the fun of it, remember you never bet the rent and grocery money........ unless you like to be wet and hungry.   😉

    I've become more patient over the last year or so when locking in my wagers.  Injury reports are a huge deal, every bit as much as the lines themselves.  For example I saw a last second injury report for the giants on Sunday and, despite the fact the talking heads said the gmen defense would keep it close, I went in heavy on Cowboys to cover.  Worked a treat.   Same same for the KC-BUF gsme.  Saw Chris Jones was out and doubled down on BUF with the ML.

    Weather is windy up to 20MPH.  Our guys know all about the stadium so clear advantage to us…Baker rockets everything so I wouldn’t expect too many flutter balls from him.   Now those Lofted High Point throw from Murray to Hopkins might move a little. 
     

    Another Lamar Jackson practice game…with a mobile RPO machine like Murray. Chandler Jones out hurts them on third down and obvious passing situations. 
     

    -3 Vs. Cards not surprised.

    -6 vs Broncos I’m very surprised. Short week two time zones for the Broncos who haven’t looked good at all lately. We could win a one sided affair

    It's always interesting too in regards to where the "sharp" money is going. When the Browns line first came out, it was IMO a pretty big fish on the line to hit the Cardinals +2.5. Seeing the Cardinals now getting +3 or +3.5 is honestly surprising to me, I figured the line was going to move much closer to Browns -1.5 or even -1. It's fascinating, for sure how it all works.

    Sharp plays are either brilliant or Retarded.  No where in between.  

    Saw a Vegas sharp try to tell people to bet Arky State and the points against Washington.  Sure, if you ignore the huge difference in the size and speed of the line play between the two.  Arky state is barely D-1. 

    52-3, Washington.  Spread was 16.5

    According to Field Yates of ESPN, Murray has been added to the Cardinals’ injury report because of a right shoulder issue. He did participate in the team’s practice, but in a limited capacity due to the issue. While Arizona did not reveal further details about the issue, Yates noted that the superstar quarterback received some medical attention during the closing stages of their Week 5 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

    Field Yates@FieldYates
    Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has been added to the team's injury report (right shoulder) and was limited in practice today.

    He was getting some attention from the team's training staff during the 4th quarter of Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Problem is, Jarvis doesn't generally throw it to OBJ. I'm so sick and tired of watching these film breakdowns where they illustrate play after play of Baker not getting him the effing ball. OBJ is extremely similar to Deondre Hopkins. Not quite as good, but they have similar abilities. Huge catch radius, crazy hands, etc. Now, just imagine...stay with me...imagine the Cardinals not throwing him the ball. WOULD NEVER FREAKING HAPPEN. 

    OK...take a breath...take a breath. I can't explain the OBJ thing. All I know is that it's ruining Baker Mayfield. Baker doesn't know whether to shit or get off the pot. His feet are ALL over the place, his eyes are even WORSE, and his deep ball looks like a punt from my Aunt Ethel...and she's been dead for 30 years. Here's the stat of the day:  before the Hail Mary drive against Bolts, his average depth of target was 5 yards. FIVE YARDS! In perfect weather conditions. 5 yards. Not exactly "feeling dangerous". 

    Not all hope is lost, obviously. We've seen Baker start out rather slowly before, right? As many opportunities as he missed last week, he still played a very solid game. He took care of the ball. He gave us a chance to win the game and his defense screwed him, the refs screwed him, and then they screwed him again on last drive when DPJ got ridden out of bounds. Oh, and his coach screwed him by not kicking the FG on the 4th down OBJ drop. We kick that FG and guess what? We don't need a TD, we need a FG...TO WIN. 

    We're really banged up, but for some reason I'm optimistic. I'm going with the Browns. Jarvis coming back helps, losing Nick hurts but Felton will make some plays, and Harrison Bryant is my sneaky pick to have a big game with 2 tds. I'm 4-1 on the season.
