Week 4: Browns @ da "Boyz Thread...
-
It might very well be one of the toughest games - but this year, the Browns rank higher than the Cowboys in pass defense completion percentage..and some other defensive categories so far, in 2020
https://www.nfl.com/stats/team-stats/defense/passing/2020/reg/all
The Browns are ninth, and the Cowboys are fifteenth.
Glaring stat:
in yards per passing attempt - the Browns are SIXTH best, the Cowboys are 25th.
in passing yardage given up (click on the headings to resort the list), the Browns are way down the list with higher yardage given up, but the Cowboys are further down.
in TDs given up, the Browns and Cowboys are near the worst. not good. Except the Browns have a new coaching staff and a new defense, and injuries, so there is that.
in Interceptions, the Browns are tenth with getting 3, the Cowboys are all the way down the list at 29th.
In passing percentage vs our defense - our Browns defense is 14th best, the Cowboys are 31st.

Goff, Ryan and IMO the MVP Russell Wilson.

So, what do you think? It feels it's closer to a push, than Cowboys favored by 4.5. Who knows, I'd probably not bet it. It's not out of the realm that Browns win outright.

Three points are pretty much automatic for the home field... although with limited or no fan attendance less would seem appropriate.
Beyond that you have to remember that oddsmakers aren't predicting a margin of victory... they are predicting the spread that will induce pretty much 50/50 betting. Here that prediction was 5.0 to open, but quickly dropped to 4.5 to pull a little more to the DAL side of the ledger... basically giving DAL backers what would have been a push. Pretty good job here as opposed to tonite's game which has given touts whiplash.

Well.... somebody likes us...
Anyone know this Bill Bender guy?
NFL picks, predictions for Week 4: Browns upset Cowboys; Packers, Bears stay unbeaten
Bill Bender 7 hrs ago- Cleveland Browns at Dallas Cowboys (-4.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Cleveland has taken care of business in two games since an embarrassing Week 1 loss, and that Nick Chubb-Kareem Hunt tandem should work against Dallas' run defense. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will keep the Cowboys going, but Baker Mayfield and Myles Garrett — both Texas natives — will match those big plays in a turning-point game for both teams.
Pick: Browns 34, Cowboys 31

Agreed -- Cowboys are better. " arguably the best trio of starting wide receivers in the NFL"
Let's see how they finish...
Let's see how they finish...
Cowboys are #1 in passing yards at present.. Browns are 30th. // Cowboys top 3 WR's are 8th, 13th, 16th in receiving yards at present // browns #1 is 46th.

I'm not one for point spreads either. On paper, Dallas is the better team, but I think the Browns can upset 'em.
I think it's a big game for the Browns. Find a way to win it, the players will believe in the coaching staff for sure.
It would be really great if the Browns had a game winning drive at the end to seal it. Confidence soars, then who knows what the rest of the season.

Yeah, it kind of feels like one of those directional games. If we win, we're going somewhere, if not, maybe we're not ready. We're starting a horrid 3 game stretch right now and have to take at least one of them, if not two. I'm obviously not saying the season is lost if we can't pull it off, but this game will likely tell us a lot about where we are. To me, it feels like their offense is too much for us, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I just can't see us making them punt, lol. I bet we've forced the fewest punts in the league.

I am taking the Boys and -4. This is a very winnable game for the Browns. It is not a must win. Next week is big game the week after is a huge game.
I think Dak and M. Gallup have a big day. I think in the Up and down Cowboys world of play we’ll get the super bowl contending Cowboys. If Ward plays we will probably see him over Cooper but Gallup is playing really well. The Cowboys pose enough threat with Zeke although the ground game has not been going well. T. Smith looks like he’s back they will slide Martin inside again. The Cowboy weapons are a problem.
I say this is winnable because honestly we could line up and make this game ugly on offense and take some shots deep on their safeties and really do damage. This is not a cowboys defense that they are used to seeing. Are we going to do this for four quarters? Or are we going to see Dallas moving the ball and scoring and become impatient? I see panic and I see Baker slinging 35 balls and throwing a few picks.
I’d be happy to be wrong but 34-23 Cowboys.

Ward, Hunt, and OBJ playing, but no Greedy or Clayborne. I didn't check on Vernon, but I seriously doubt he's playing, but I do know he tried to practice so we'll see.
Does anybody have stats on how many times we forced teams to punt? I can barely think of more than a couple times when we actually forced people to kick it away! Lol. Anyway, Dallas reporters are basically all saying that their team is awful and the Browns are going to beat them. I actually think this game favors Dallas so much that it isn't funny. Unfortunately, I feel the way about this game that I felt about Ravens game. I'm not a betting man, but I'd be all over that 4.5 spread. I'm 3-0 this year but would be ecstatic to be 3-1. Cmon Browns!

Vernon was not listed on the latest two injury reports, so I'm assuming he's a go...

I think the browns can beat anybody when they play complimentary ball. CLE Offense is top 10 in red zone scoring, we have a decent chance to score a lot of points. What we NEED is turnovers.

If Ward can't go, we will need Greedy to come back and fill the void. Dallas receivers are fast.
Yeah... But they're not Landry and Beckham..

Yep. He's definitely playing, which is great news because Clayborne is out for certain. Really sucks because Clayborne had a 6 sack game against Dak in that building, hehe.
It is would be nice to have our top pick last year. Last year was lovely when we started out with some strong offensive opponents and we had hamstring strains keep guys out Five weeks. Looks like a repeat of last year.
id like this new regime to draft strong physical corners.
