NFL Betting Preview: Titans @ Browns Prediction

Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, is the site of the Browns vs. Titans game that is part of the early action on Sunday. Both teams have enjoyed a surprising 2-1 start to the season but neither of them are very good.

After looking at this contest from all angles, we can’t get over the fact that the Titans have RB Chris Johnson and the Browns don’t. Cleveland has been suspect on run defense all season as they are allowing 128.7 yards per game.

That number is even more shocking when you consider the Browns have played the Bengals, Colts, and Dolphins – who all have an average at best rushing attack. CJ2K is startng to round into game shape, after his preseason holdout, we think he’ll go off and be the difference in this one.

NFL Wagering Lines: Lions @ Cowboys Free Pick

Yours truly has bleed Honolulu Blue since birth and rarely bets for, or against, the Lions. That being said, we have backed them in our weekly “pools” for three straight weeks and we will do so once again this weekend.

If the Lions 3-0 record, or their 101-46 points for/against ratio, doesn’t impress you, the fact that Detroit just held Purple Jesus to 78 rushing yards, in his home barn, should.

Dallas needed six field goals to beat an over-hyped Washington Redskins team, they are coming off a short week, and they are a walking M*A*S*H unit on both sides of the ball.

QB Tony Romo, RB Felix Jones, and WR Dez Bryant are all nicked up but expected to play. Stud WR Miles Austin is still out with a hamstring injury.

With their suspect offensive line, we didn’t expect Romo to last the entire game against Washington during Monday Night Football. Somehow though, he gutted it out and got through it.

With DT Ndamukong Suh looming large on the horizon, we have our doubts that Romo will survive Week Four. That spells disaster for the Cowboys.

While back-to-back road games are not easy, this is a Lions team that is brimming with confidence. The bright lights of Cowboys Stadium  present a slight disadvantage, but the Lions pass rush will a deciding factor in this one.

Add in WR Calvin “Megatron” Johnson, QB Matthew Stafford, and RB Jahvid Best on offense, and we see the Motown Cats crusing to a 4-0 start early in the NFL 2011 season.
