MNF Question

Can someone tell this amateur capper how in the world the G-Men aren't favored by 10-12 points tomorrow night? I can't find one stat that favors the Browns in this game. Their injury list is starting to look like a grocery list, unless I'm getting bad information.

I HATE lines that look too obvious to me - Any thoughts from the pros on this game and the line? I never saw what it opened up at - Anyone think it moves up before tomorrow night?

Thanks for any input - This is why I LOVE the Mall!

That sucks that your punctuation keys don't work. GL on the game though.

Also, this is a must win game for Cleveland. They can not go down 1-4 this season and with a win will tie Baltimore in the division.

Derek Anderson is on a real tight leash and he is getting Kellen Winslow back healthy. Look at what happened to Washington today.... St. Louis came prepared and fighting with the new coach. I think Romeo knows his job is on the line as well. I can see Cleveland fighting hard in this one.

Scratch that.. Winslow MIGHT be playing....

Thats the wildcard for this game. If Winslow doesnt suit up, then the bet will be a nailbiter, if Winslow plays I can say that a Cleveland +7.5 isnt going to be too nerveracking

Supposedly there is a 25% chance he will NOT play... but rumor has it that its a bluff and its closer to 75% he will play.

Yeah, he was in the hospital for 3 days with swollen balls

Winslow has been downgraded to 'doubtful'. Spending 4 days in the hospital, getting released on Sunday, I can't imagine he plays tonight.

I've recently been burned by the likes of O'Sullivan, Rosenfels, Schuab, etc which makes it difficult for me to expect any different from Anderson tonight. Leaning Giants, but have plenty of more time to research.........thanks for the input.

I see the G-Men winning by 10. And most service plays are showing that also. Wouldn't be surprised if that line moves up a full point by kickoff.

I'm sticking with my original stance - I'm fading the home dog trends in this one and taking the G-Men. I'm tired of getting burned by 3rd rate QBs this year.

3* NY -7 (bought a point)

where'd you see 9.5 juice?

i haven't looked at lines yet, that's always the last thing i do, but i'll skip a step if i can buy 1/2 and get browns at +10
