Browns verses Chargers

Vegas Line: Cleveland + 3 Over/Under: 35

What to expect from Chargers offense?

Q.B. Doug Flutie's last game against the Bengals was much like his first -- efficient -- except this one was error-free. He completed 12-of-19 passes for 133 yards and a score and managed the game beautifully. The Chargers have a good offensive line and rookie running back LaDainian Tomlinson, is the real deal! Flutie, will scramble to make things happen and Tomlinson, will get plenty of carries.

What the Browns defense has to do!

Contain Flutie in the pocket and stop Tomlinson, at the line of scrimage. Make Flutie, try to beat you with his arm.

What the Browns must do!

Couch, needs too keep improving each week with his young recievers. The Browns will have a hard time mustering a running game because the Chargers held Cory Dillion, too 46 yds. rushing! Quick short passes and go deep on C.B. Ryan Mc Neil...remember him-ha!

What do I think?

Both teams have allot too prove and should be a defensive game. Who ever gets the ball last will probably win this one. I think the Browns defense is better then the first three teams the Chargers have played and should win in a close one! Not sure enough too bet them-ha!

Some Thoughts:

WOW! Great game! Hard hitting defensive battle with Tim Couch coming through clutch at the end of the game!

Two weeks in a row that Couch stepped up big in the second half and Kevin Johnson making a great catch! The Browns defense is for real!!!
