Todays facts:
Browns are mostly healthy today on both sides of the ball. First time since the Colts game (WEEK 5), that they had this many starters playing.
Chiefs last 4 home games were against Carolina 33-31, Denver 22-16, Atlanta 17-14 and Chargers L 21-38.
The Chargers games isn't really relevant because the Chiefs rested everyone. Cleveland is far better than all of those teams and they were all getting 10 or more points then. Go look it up!
Knowing that KC barely won the other games, makes this game ripe for a underdog upset. This is so similar to what happened to Pittsburgh, and that now makes Cleveland a good bet. The Steelers regressed in their last 5 of 6 games and KC is now in that similar circumstance.
I see today, that action is starting to come in on KC. Line drop to 9.5 -10 is moving more players to KC.
The Browns W-L record would have been far better if you consider that the games they lost were without offensive players and defensive players. The Jets game had 4 defensive starters out and 4 receivers out. Cancel that loss and put a W there.
Same with the loss to Baltimore in the second game. where both DB's were out. 2 linebackers as well. They still out gained the Ravens by over 100 yards, but gave up 13 free points to baltimore in that game with 2 missed Field goals and a pick 6 TD. Cancel that loss and put a W there as well.
The Raiders game was missing top Cleveland #1 Running back Chubb plus defensive players on as well. Game was in rain storm and Both reams had season low yardage in that game with Cleveland unable to run the ball. Cancel that loss- and put a W there. Browns record would be 14-2 and just as good as KC today.
Knowing the depth of the W-L record of Cleveland, they would be coming in here at 14-2 plus the Steeler slaughter last week 15-2, do you think the point spread would be 10 ?
Browns can win this game. I would never pick them if they still had key players out - but today, is the best day for an under dog play Ive seen all year, because Cleveland didnt have all their defensive players back last week in Pittsburgh. Today they have them!
