Browns verses Panthers

Vegas Line: Cleveland -7.5 Over/Under: 37.5

What to expect from Panthers?

Carolina is coming in with a 3-8 record and just got trampled by the Falcons 41-0 ! The Panthers are in turmoil with the pending suspension of DE Julius Peppers for violating the league's list of banned substances. Defensive end Brentson Buckner is serving a four-game suspension for the same thing and they just cut their starting DT Chris Terry after he missed a court appearance!

Also linebacker Dan Morgan, in his first game back after missing two with a groin injury, dislocated his shoulder and will be out next week. Talk about a team in dissaray! Rodney Peete was their starting QB but after last week who knows? They used three different quarterbacks during the game!

What the Browns defense must do!

Quit giving up the big plays and keep on improving on the way they been playing the last two weeks. They should get some turn-overs this game.

What the Browns offense must do!

The last two weeks after their bye week the Browns offense as been pretty well balance between the run and passing game. Rookie running-back William Green continues to get better with each game and it as helped the offense immensely! Couch, can now work the play action pass and slow down the pass rush.

Season record on game picks:7 - 4, 1 push What do I think?

I think the Browns will win big in this home game and should cover the spot! Browns by 10...the orange jerseys suck!

Some after game thoughts:

The whole team played badly and what was the coaching staff thinking with their game-plan on offense and defense? This was a must win game for the Browns because it was the easiest game left on their schedule. The last four games are against- Jaguars, Ravens, Colts and the Falcons! If they can win all four of these games they should make the playoffs. I give them around a 40% chance of running the table because of being a fan only!
