Taking the Browns +10. I am a big Ravens as everyone has probably figured out and this game against the Browns scares me a lot. The Browns are coming off their bye so Mangini has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. Since their season is already in the toilet I would expect the Browns to think of this game as their Super Bowl. A chance to show on national TV that they aren't the bums everyone knows they are. This reminds me of the Monday night game the Ravens played 2 years ago against the Pats when they were undefeated. The Ravens were like 4-8 going into the game and all the players talked about was using the game as a chance to gain some respect from the rest of the league. Well as everyone probably remembers the Ravens should have won the game, having outplayed the Pats for most of the game, but lost it at the end when Brady threw a TD with 30 seconds left.
In doing some research I found this interesting stat about Mangini's teams coming off the bye. In 06 the Jets beat the Pats 17-14; in 07 the Jets beat the Steelers 19-16 in OT and last year the Jets beat Cincy 26-14. BTW last year the Browns were given no chance coming off their bye against the defending Super Bowl Champs the NY Giants. Well the Browns won that game 35-14.
I won't be surprised at a straight up Browns' win. If the Ravens do win I think it will be a last second variety and by less than a TD. I may make a small ML Play on the Browns also. Good luck if you follow.
