Prediction
Cleveland Browns UNDER 6.5 (-145) Season Wins
There will be a lot of new things happening, a new NFL season, new uniforms, new faces on different teams, new head coach’s on new teams, new rules in the new season, yet something that won’t be new, is a winning season that will see the Cleveland Browns in the Playoffs. Sorry Cleveland fans, but the Cavs are the only thing you guys have to look forward to in the near future. At least Cleveland fans will have a major sport team to look forward to. Hell, in New Orleans, we only had the Saints for a very long time and they were just as bad if not worst than the Cleveland Browns will be this year, so I can certainly sympathize and feel your pain. Quarterback struggles will continue this season, but the Browns are getting what they asked for by wasting their draft pick on Manziel. Did anyone really think he could ever be a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL? I certainly didn’t and based on his rare appearances as a starting quarterback, my prediction has been right thus far. This will be a rebuilding season for the Browns (what’s new?) and as bad as the offense will most likely be, the defense will be pretty solid. I will certainly be looking towards betting the under in the 1st half for the Browns games as they only averaged 8.8 points per game (27th) offensively in the first half while only allowing 10.8 points per game (20th) defensively in the first half. The majority of 1st half odds for the over/under are set around 24 and in specific situations, I will be looking to play the under.
