The AFCN games have the biggest longshots this week except one in the Thursday Night Football game Washington opened a +14 underdog and quickly moved to a huge Washington +16 already.....at Minnesota.

The primetime games this coming week are all longshots except one which might be interesting GB -3 at KC without Patrick Mahomes.

Thielen had a major hamstring pull on his only reception in the 1st Q, a 25 yd TD. I expect he may be done for most of the season now. Naturally he joins all my walking wounded and inactives like Brees, AJ Green, Guice and Hunt. I had a really good team and Green was only supposed to miss just the first two games. Now winless Cincy is talking after the 9 week bye. Tank job.

OK, question: Is Hunt suspended for 8 games.....or 8 weeks? Does the Bye week count as one of his weeks suspended?

1) No, it doesn't count.

8 full games Gip. He can practice, but the first game he can play in is our game with the Bills after the Patriots and Broncos. At least he can practice and get up to speed before he actually plays.

MONDAY NIGHT - a few notable reports.

MNF NE 7 out, NYJ 8 out

Patrick Mahomes, QB	Out	Oct 21
Comment: Coach Andy Reid acknowledged Monday that it would be a "stretch'' for Mahomes to play Sunday against the Packers, ESPN' Adam Teicher reports. "I don't think you put a timeline on this thing," Reid noted of the status of Mahomes, who dislocated the patella in his right knee this past Thursday. "You go off how he feels and what the doctors say and go with it. I don't think there's a set time, though. I know people want a time, but I don't think you can do that with this injury."

However I read that the NFL has allowed him to return to practice as of today.

Sure enough after the NE thumping of the NY Nyets plus diminished faith in our playoff bound Browns the line has jumped up to almost +13......any takers?

Just for fun a quick look at WEEK 9 after this game Cleveland is a +1.5 underdog when they travel to Denver at 4:25 pm.

I feel that the Browns could have ran away against Seattle if Baker hit OBJ on the “out” route before the blocked punt.
Healthy and Hungry Browns?
Normally I don’t do predictions but at 2-4? Why not..

27-17. Cleveland.

Well, I made my $5.00 bet, and I've only bet that high once before.

I'm all in. Browns will beat the Patriots.

It's amazing how many of us have our Browns winning this game, lol. Let me drop a very uncomfortable stat on you guys. "If the Patriots' offense never took the field, they'd be 3-3-1 for the year."

Think about that for a minute.

That cover 0 blitzing defense completely screwed up about every QB in the league, so I'm not sure how ours is going to fare much better. My only hope is that it's an ugly game and our defense someone figures out how to score while our young QB plays super smart.

I don't know about 5000....but I could put a Top 50 on here...though I think it would have to go on the Entertainment (movie review) forum. My choices would be sublime. (but rest assured....that Hot Chocolate song would not be on it).

Oh yes we'd all love that we could get rid of our radios and CD collections.
