Detroit at Cleveland

Philly manhandled Cleveland last week while Detroit got the upset win against Denver. That win was meaningful in that Shannahan likes to win in the preseason (32-20 straight-up record = 62%). New HC Rod Martinelli came in motivated and his team looked sharp. After the game, Martinelli said "I love to win. If we're playing marbles, I'm going to get you." Think he cares that this is preseason? Think he'll be trying to win this game? I sure do. John Kitna and Josh McCown both looked good and as I said last week, are likely to benefit greatly from Mike Martz's presence. Detroit and their new head coach continue to have motivation to start this 2006 campaign off on a winning note. Take them here as a dog.
