Detroit at Cleveland

After two weeks, the Cleveland Browns looked like they would be fortunate to win just a few games all season. Then Brian Hoyer took over at QB, and the Browns' offense comes to life and they go on to win three straight games - a pair of them as an underdog. The bad news is that Hoyer is out for the season, and the Browns' offense is again relying on the arm of Brandon Weeden, and that hasn't been so good. Detroit defended Green Bay very well last week on the road, holding the Pack to 22 points, but simply could not get anything going without Calvin Johnson. He's again questionable for this game, but he is practicing. I think the Lions turn to the defense once again, and Cleveland is a much easier team to defend than Green Bay. Cleveland has been decent defensively, and I look for a low-scoring game as both offenses are struggling in their present state. The difference is that Brandon Weeden makes losing mistakes far too often, and he will plague the Cleveland prospects of winning four straight. The Browns are just 3-13 straight-up the pats three seasons vs. winning teams. Over that same span they are 1-11 vs. teams that average over 5.6 yards per play (Detroit averages 5.9). Cleveland is 22-10-1 to the UNDER in their last 33 overall, including 10-4 to the UNDER in their last 14 at home. Play Detroit on the moneyline and take the UNDER.
