    We'll see. I'm not holding my breath.

  • Where to watch this Sunday?

    The Browns are basically battling Taylor Swift for viewership this weekend, so pretty limited on who gets to watch in the big 50.

    Ohio is covered, except for my eternally forsaken homies in Van Wert. 

    Some border areas in IN, KY and PA get the Browns too. Looks like we’re claiming most of WV this weekend too. West Virginians don’t give a shit about Taylor Swift.

    Oddly enough not all of NV gets the game, but most do. You Nevadan’s north of the Great Basin will have to settle for Swift, or better yet, go out and enjoy your basin. I hear it’s great.

    There’s a little spillover in to parts of CA that get the Browns, but the rest are stricken with Swiftiness. Sorry about your luck.

    Why does Wisconsin not get the Browns game? We hate KC.

    Beth Mowins is really calling the game? Sound will be turned off all over Cleveland and Las Vegas, and probably more locales.

  • Raiders are 2 point favorites on average in Vegas sportsbooks. Started out as 1 1/2. So somebody thinks the Browns are better than we do here.

     Isn't enough movement to justify putting $ on CLE.    

     This is also the same Minshew who chewed this defense up at home last year as well. So he's seen quite a bit of what we're going to throw at time.

    Conversely, we've seen a lot of what makes him tick, he just no longer has the benefit of the Colts IOL and Johnathan Taylor.

     Probably won't stop the Raiders coaches from reaching into a similar bag for their tricks.  Those 1/2 gap-zone calls and that one crunch which Taylor popped for 20+ were pretty gnarly.

      Raiders have a huge IDL that moves well and we've lost Teller.   

    Until further notice, I'm taking the home team with the better playing QB.

    The purpose of the line is to even out the bets. So if the spread rises in favor of the Raiders, that means they need to get more people to bet on the Browns.

    If it goes to Raiders -3.5, I would jump on the Browns getting 3.5.

    I think the Browns are better than most here, but I still need to get over 3 to bet on them. I am not insane. lol. Well, a little bit insane.?

  • Davante Adams added to the Raiders injury report. Limited in practice with a hamstring.

    I'm pretty sure Tae will play, but it's worth noting he may not be 100%.

    Well when A&M opened 11.5 fav over Arkansas, I told a friend going there to take those points as soon as he stepped off the airplane. But smart money realized that was a ridiculous spread and now it's down to 5.5 point favorite. I'd still take Arkansas. I said the same thing about taking Bowling Green with around 23-24 points after they lost to Penn St by 7 and had two weeks off to get ready for A&M. They lost by 6.

  • IMO, we are a team that's dead in the water.  Without a functioning OL...you're screwed.  Watson & Stefanski will get the blame for this upcoming loss.  

    Hopefully Zinter steps in and plays such that they ain't never taking him out.  AND, we'll need some decent play from the Tackles.  If for no other reason, so that we can properly evaluate whether we need to draft a starting QB or not in April.

    Raiders at home and the home team normally gets 3 for being at home. Raiders -2. This is basically a pick'em game.

    I like the under. 20-16 Browns.

    Everything is too tight. Stay away from this game.

    Jed Wills is a soft marshmallow pussy... They should just cut his ass now...I'm sure we could get a scrub off the street with more heart and desire..

    Totally agree. Take Arkansas +5.5 or 6.0 some books. They're gonna win it outright.

    Wait, you're an Aggies fan? Telling me Arkansas is going to pull the upset...

    Something fishy here.?

    +5.5 not enough to take Arkansas. 

    It's in Jerry World.

    Hopefully Maxx Crosby doesn't play. He is dealing with an ankle. Browns OL is going to have long day. Hopefully Stefanski has a game plan that enables Watson to get the ball out quickly.

    Update: Both Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams ruled out.

    Everything going the Browns way.

  • I've got a feeling that the special teams are going to need to come up big for the Browns.

    First astroturf game of the season. Can the Browns figure out a way to get speedsters involved (Jeudy, Moore....dare I say it, Thrash?)

  • Browns now 2 point favorites. After the injuries to the Raiders

    Also the Browns haven’t won in the pacific time zone since Brandon Weedon threw for 364 yards and beat the Raiders in December of 2012

    GO BROWNS

    Allegiant Stadium is natural grass. It's a dome stadium, the grass is grown outside and wheeled in stadium for games on a grass tray. 

    The Cardinals have the same system at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
