Seattle Seahawks (4-3) vs. Cleveland Browns (4-3)
Sunday, November 4th --- Browns Stadium,
Cleveland --- 4:05pm EST
Opening NFL Betting Line: Cleveland -1
(47)
Seattle leads the AFC West while Cleveland
is pressing hard to challenge the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the AFC North. The Seahawks
are coming off a bye week while Cleveland
rocked St. Louis 27-20 last weekend. The
return of Deion Branch and D.J. Hackett
gives Matt Hasslebeck the versatility he
needs at receiver to take pressure off
of Shaun Alexander, who is averaging a
terribly average 3.4 yards per carry.
Cleveland
will rely on the punch of Braylon Edwards
and Kellen Winslow to set the scoreboard
on fire. Derek Anderson, for all of his
previous short comings is absurdly good
at running the score for the Browns. Seattle’s
passing defense allows 212.7 yards per
game and the secondary is a glaring weakness
that Anderson can expose.
On the flip side, however, the Browns
defense is simply awful. They allow opponents
to steamroll them for 139.4 yards on the
ground while surrendering 270.7 yards per
game. But they have played extremely strong
at home since losing to Pittsburgh 34-7
in the season opener while Charlie Frye
was still at quarterback.
The Seahawks play punchless football,
but are still a good team despite how boring
they are to watch. Cleveland, however,
is simply much better. They showed the
most fight against the Patriots this year
and Anderson is on a roll that can not
be ignored. The Browns betting investors
who were smart enough to get on this bandwagon
early will be rewarded again as they take
Seattle down at home with a tight spread
that favors them slightly.
