Arizona (-1) favored over Browns

[SLU MD]

I'm really confused?

 

[MrChad]

Err, if they were the favorites wouldn't it be Arizona (-1)?

 

[slsmnaz]

What's to get? A point spread is not based on who they think will win the game. Too many people take it too seriously.

fixed, you are right

 

[PepePeru]

i'd stay far far away from this game.

 

[MrChad]

And a one point spread basically means that Vegas has no idea who will win.

 

[edro]

The Browns have a huge track record of suck.

Everyone is still amazed and skeptical of their success.

 

[Q]

I hope the Browns lose, that way the Steelers will have a bigger lead in the division.

 

[torpid]

Home field advantage. If the teams were evenly matched it would be about -3 Ari

I don't think I've seen a Steelers fan worried of the Browns in a long while.

Yeah, they shouldn't have any reason to worry unless they get beat by the Jets... or only put up 3 points in a game against the suckiest team in the NFL or something like that.

Yup. You get 3 points for the home field advantage, so Vegas is saying that the Browns are a slightly better team, but AZ is still favored to win because its in AZ.

That being said, I wouldn't bet this game in a million years. Both teams can put up huge points, and both have suspect defenses at times (though Cleveland's D is starting to look better each week). But both teams can easily lay an egg any given week too. So who knows.

If I had to bet, I'd take Cleveland

 

[Capt Caveman]

Both teams can score. But will the Cleveland Defense show-up or Warner fumble in his own end-zone?

 

[chuckywang]

It's cause the Browns have been so bad for so long and nobody really believes in them yet.

Fish have lost 5-6 games by 3 points or less, they also put up 28 on NE. Not many teams would have scored at all on that field in those conditions.

Whats not to get? They have beaten the Seahawks, Lions, and Steelers among others. The Browns are over-rated.

Arizona also lost twice to SF. Now that is PATHETIC!

Been playing better as of late. They do give up a lot of yards but they have started getting pressure on QBs, turnovers, and key stops on 3rd downs.

Browns have also lost 3 games on last second field goals. The only teams that have soundly beat them have been NE and Pitt.

i believe it's two, but i could be wrong. either way, cleveland outscores their teams by 0.5pts, arizona by -.05 so cleveland would be favored if they were home/neutral field, but since arizona is home they are favored.

Nope. General rule of thumb is 3 points for home field advantage.

I wouldnt touch this game with a 10 ft pole...

yep, you're wrong. it's 3.

 

[fustercluck]

The Browns are actually good for a change, the Cardinals are still the Cardinals. I've seen crazier things though. Miami is favored this weekend :Q

 

[AZGamer]

This is the safest bet I've seen in a long time - Browns take it easily - and I bet on that.

Lines were similar Browns/Ravens and Browns/Texans - and they own both of those. Granted, the Browns/Ravens game was a bit closer, but this is a safe bet, people just hate betting on the Browns. Once you've watched them, you realize that the combination of Cribbs creating field position and Anderson throwing to Winslow/Jerevicious/Edwards and Lewis running.... Cardinals are awful, in case no one noticed.
