This game scares me. Would feel better if it were at home. Cousins is playing remarkably well. He all ready has 8tds and thier run game is also top 5 in the nfl. On the defensive side of the ball they are not good at all. However, with cousins not being a rookie, i expect woods to revert back to his prevent defense. This is the first time this year i am not picking the browns, just have a really bad feeling about this one.
Vikings-30 Browns-20

I think this will be a slugfest until we wear them down. Browns 41-31

If I were betting money this week (which I’m not) I’d probably take the Vikings. Both teams are coming off strong wins but I just think we’re not consistent, we haven’t played a complete game on both sides of the ball yet. It’s a toss up but I think the Browns still have some “dumb” early losses to get through and this looks like a perfect candidate.
That said, I’m putting my head in the sand and officially sticking with the homer pick. High scoring affair, close but we win by a nose.

I think we light it up and dominate the Vikings especially when the second half rolls around.
This defense is on a high I expect they will be fired up to get after whomever ends up having the misfortune of being on the opposite side from them.
I say we win 38-27 but the score will be a bit misleading cause it will never really be close. Like the Bears they will be questioning if they are who they think they can be when we are done with them.

I would (and will) put money on Minnesota this weekend. They’re a good team. It’s a game that has scared me all offseason (in fact, the next four games have scared me … at MIN, at LAC, AZ, and DEN).
I’m going to say
Minnesota 30 Cleveland 24

When I saw this game on our schedule it did make me a little uneasy. As a matter of fact, the Chargers, Denver and Detroit games do also. We have a good team and all these games are winnable. However, as I've brought up in the past, we have terrible lifetime records against these teams and we've lost to them even when our Browns had a decent team. We should beat Detroit. Arizona will be tough and Green Bay at their place on Christmas will probably be a loss. All of our remaining games could go either way. This won't be a popular statement but we could lose 8 or 9 games. Our schedule is that tough! Just my 2 cents

IMO, this is going to be a TOP game. I see us using the running game to control the flow and keep their offense off the field. Their defense is not that good.

I'm sorry so many of you don't think this team with the best roster in football has an edge in every game just based on talent alone. I'm sorry to see some of you will be losing your money this weekend by foolishly betting against this team. I'm sorry you can't be fans in the truest sense and have a little more faith in this team. Mark my words, don't bet against the Browns in this game.

There are two kinds of bets passion and billfold. You don't win much betting on passion.
The people in the desert have Browns favored by 2. I'm seeing the ML at -110 for both. O/U is 51.5
Personally, I avoid this play like the plague!
But, if I had to, I toss a sawbuck on the Vikings +2 and one on the under. A nice 41 yard FG by Chase McLauhlin with seconds left!
Browns 24 Vikings 23

Browns! 310!!! - Vikings! negative 14! and anything less would be a letdown. Browns!!!
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

My brain says Browns 34, Vikings 28. My gut says Browns 24, Vikings 28.
I don't trust either one.

We run all over them, and Thielen or Jefferson has a big game.
Browns 34-20
Chubb & Hunt both > 150 total yards and 2 TDs, 2 TDs for TEs as well.

As others have said, a comfortable Cousins might pick our defense apart. If that is the case, my prediction is 35-17 bad guys (they'll wear us down with the run in the 4th, and the clock will tick away).
If, however, we're able knock Cousins around a few times - especially with a player or two besides our front 4 - it'll be a different ball game. If that happens, my prediction is 28-17 good guys (with Chubb/Hunt eating up the clock starting in the late 3rd).
If I had to guess right now, I'd guess the former.
Hope I'm wrong.

Vegas line has dropped to Cleveland -1. Don’t like that trend Earlier this week the line was 2.5. All it means is more people are betting Minnesota. From a gambling perspective, you always take an underdog home team with a short spread. Evenly matched games always favor the home team by three points. I think Vegas screwed up on this game. It'll be difficult getting an even number of dollars on both sides. Curious what Vegas does as game time gets closer. Do they end up flipping the favorite to Minnesota?

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

If our D plays anywhere near how It played last week we should win. If it plays the way it did against the Texans we could be in trouble. I believe we can score on the Vikings. We should be able to run on them all afternoon. JMO

The thing is that Cousins gets rid of the ball quickly. Getting pressure on him is something we should be able to do. I do not however think that with his ability to get rid of the ball quickly we should expect a huge number of sacks. He's also one of those QB's who if you blitz him, you open up to being burned.

Agreed. True that. Just a friendly PSA. This winning thang that we are doing is called a "streak" and is very desirable. Some of us may have forgotten the parlance. That is all.
