Browns verses Bears

Vegas Line: Cleveland + 5.5 Over/Under: 34.5

What to expect from Bears offense?

The Bears have an excellent offensive line and very good skilled players in RB. Anthony Thomas, and WR David Terrell, Booker and White! QB. Jim Miller got hurt in the second quarter against the Niners and QB.Shane Mathews came in and led the Bears to a 37-34 victory! The Bears are 5-1 and beat some very good teams to get there!

What the Browns defense has to do!

Stop rookie RB.Anthony Thomas who has a 5.9 yard AVG.! The Browns had a tough time with Cory Dillion and this kid is about the same size, speed and power! The one good thing having the bye week the Browns were able too work on their run defense and plus DE. Courtney Brown is coming back!

What the Browns must do!

The Bears run defense is playing better then anyone in the NFL at the moment. The Browns need to play a mistake free game and put forth the effort they did against Baltimore. Give Couch Time and he will hit the big plays.

What do I think?

This should be a low scoring game. The weather this weekend is suppose to be rainy and windy. The Bears have a very strong run defense and if the weather is going to be bad Couch won't be able to pass! Sorry but I like the Bears in a close one but of course I will be rooting for the Browns!

*Results*

Some Thoughts:

The Browns had the game locked and went into the famous prevent defense! The Bears scored and then kicked an onside kick with the famous "Hail Mary Pass!" The Bears won this game on pure luck! 1.Getting an onside kick - 2.throwing a Hail Mary pass - 3.and a batted ball run in for a TD in OT!
