Browns verses Titans

Vegas Line: Cleveland + 6  Over/Under: 37.5

What to expect from Titans offense?

They will probably use the same game plan that worked so well against us the first time around. McNair, played a great game and threw deep passes to WR Derrick Mason & Kevin Dyson! RB Skip Hicks, got plenty of work against the Raiders while Eddie George continues to be plagued by a toe problem.

What the Browns defense has to do!

They must contain McNair and put some pressure on him. The secondary had to many break downs last time and the Titans made them pay for it. The Titans running game isn't that good with George hurt but McNair can take off out of the pocket anytime and must be shadowed!

What the Browns must do!

Stop the turn-overs! Protect Couch and open up some running lanes for Jamel White who had a terrific game against the Packers! I keep waiting for some trick plays? With only two games left it would seem like a nice time to use them!

What do I think?

I don't like the offensive play calling and it isn't going to win any games with plays that the defense has seen and knows the Browns will run? I can't see the Browns winning and I sure wouldn't bet them! But I'll still will be rooting for them!

Some Thoughts:

Tim Couch had a break out game throwing for 327 yd.! This was the first game in a long time that PK Dawson had a crucial kick to win the game! Dawson kicked the 44 yd. field goal straight and true! Kevin Johnson had a tremendous game going over a thousand yards receiving for the year!

The Browns defense shattered by injuries played tough in the fourth quarter shutting down the Titans!
