Cleve favored by 3.5 with the total at 41.


Wagering aside, I'm considering cheering for Buffalo. They are geographically the closest team and that is often seen as reason enough. Last week when I tuned into the Bills/Ravens game, a strong instinct instantly kicked in to cheer for the Bills. Maybe I have some latent Bills fandom inside me.

Then again maybe it was more of an anti-Ravens sentiment. I never know. Sometimes i just have to sit in front of a game and wait and see who my gut is cheering for.

San Fran rose to the top of the heap in recent times. I wonder what would happen if they played the Bills. I think I would still cheer for San Fran. Maybe not though.

I even found myself cheering for Dallas last week. They were my team growing up and into my 30's even. Then I didn't give a shit about them (or anyone else) for a long time - but maybe that is suddenly reasserting itself. I definitely still feel some instinctive hatred for the Giants and Redskins and Eagles.

I don't know. It's strange. Cleveland definitely does nothing for me. I don't know.


Well I'm glad we had this talk. Thanks for listening.
 
Fantasy reasons only: Need Cleveland defense and Josh Gordon to do well!

More of a Brown supporter otherwise but ownership and Joe Banner (ex-Eagle head-hocho) running things make it hard to root for these guys! Feel for these fans .......

PS TY Joe B for trading Trent R to a team that might be able to get him Fantasy points!
 
I have no feel for this game. This is what I have read so far.

ABOUT THE BILLS (2-2): Buffalo has major injury concerns entering Thursday's matchup as running backs C.J. Spiller (ankle) and Fred Jackson (knee) were both hurt after combining for 164 yards on the ground against Baltimore. Jackson said he has a torn MCL in his left knee but expects to play while X-rays revealed no structural damage for Spiller, who will test the ankle before Thursday's game. Manuel threw for only 167 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and a lost fumble, but Buffalo's defense collected four sacks and intercepted quarterback Joe Flacco five times, including two by rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso.

ABOUT THE BROWNS (2-2): First-year coach Rob Chudzinski is not about to tamper with a winning formula, saying he will stick with Hoyer at quarterback - "Certainly he's been the spark that I had hoped for," the coach said - even though 2012 first-round pick Brandon Weeden is ready to return after missing two games with a thumb injury. Hoyer has developed a great chemistry with tight end Jordan Cameron, who had 10 catches in Sunday's 17-6 win over Cincinnati and has 16 receptions and four touchdowns in the past two games. Cleveland's defense limited the Bengals to 266 total yards, including 63 on the ground in 20 attempts.
