Cleveland-Detroit

Has there ever been a less anticipated matchup in the history of the NFL?

If not, I don't know what would be.

They were talking about this on "Mike and Mike" this morning. If you were the announcers assigned to this game, is there any doubt where you rank on the totem pole after seeing you were headed to Detroit?

This would be the perfect game to have the no announcers like they did a while ago

Contest giveawys in Detroit, I hear

1st prize- 2 50 yard line tickets to the game

2nd prize- 4 50 yard line tickets to the game


I will be here all week. Will anyone outside of gamblers or fantasy football players watch this game, at all?

Gerk, this game gives the NFL a bad name. They should just both forfeit that way they both get a tie and they save the fans the crappy feeling that they have had since week 1.

They suggested on "Mike and Mike" playing it out on Madden

I think that works for me also

Isn't this like the Houston/New Orleans match from a few years back, aka The #1 Pick Bowl?

Lions by at least 14...here in Cleveland we like Ohio State -7 against the Browns...
Where are all the Cleveland fans who screamed bloody murder when the team left town????They should leave again and not bother coming back...
horrible coaching, lousy players and an owner who cares more about his Aston Villa soccer team...
Browns will go 1-15.

Line I've seen so far is

Detroit -4, That seems low, even as bad as Detroit is

Line looks a bit too high in my opinion Gerk, figured we would see at most a fieldgoal line for these two. Hell the Lions were 4pt faves against the Rams who are just as bad and they lost to them at home so like I said I think this line is a bit too high and has me looking at going with the Lions this week(maybe, lol!!).

St. Louis can actually score.

Cleveland has scored 5 offensive TD's since last Thanksgiving. Darren Sharper is close to that himself. 5 offensive TD's in a year and how many came when the game was already decided?

Detrot actually competes when I watch them, I think Cleveland has quit on Mangini, myself. Players hate him and he's a lame duck. Don't think I could put a penny on them myself.
