The Browns (5-7) travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills (2-10). Who wins?

Other than last week, the Bills have played every team tough. This won't be an easy game for the Browns. It should be pretty cold in Buffalo, and if it snows, it will come down to the better running game. Once again the win depends on whether or not FAILhome becomes turnover happy.

Yes. I think this is the 3rd year in a row at Buffalo.

My fantasy team could use a big game from Hillis in my 1st round playoff matchup so I'm thankful that Buffalo's run defense is straight dung.

Browns by 4.

The forecast is for snow and wind Sunday in Buffalo. This should play into the Browns favor.

17-7 Browns, big day for Hillis.

They played us at home 2 seasons back. I know, I was there, it was snowing like nuts there. Cleveland won like 9-6 or something crazy like that. It took forever to get home! LOL! It was a fun game to be at, mainly because my seats were under the awning in the upper deck, so the people 3 rows in front of us were covered in snow, and we were completely dry!

I don't see this as a pushover game at all, but the Bill shave one of the WORST run defenses in the NFL (if not the worst) so I see a LARGE dose of Hillis all game long. We will just have to limit their big play receiver Steve Johnson. (AKA lets hope Eric Wright is still hurt) The Bills are no pushover, especially at home...but if Hillis can get in a groove with his downhill style of running, and there is some snow on the ground, we might see a HUGE game out of him!

The Browns could be in for a scare in this game. If they can get Hillis going on the ground and throw the ball every once in a while to mix it up, Cleveland should be fine. But Fred Jackson isn't a bad player for the Bills either...they will try to get him going on the ground, but if they can't the will try and throw screens with him and use him that way...should be 14-17 or 14-21 type game since it will probaby be freezing, maybe snowing in Buffalo. Cleveland wins with the game by forcing a couple TO's again.

Weather tends to be an equalizer. It looks like a close one again.

That was 3 seasons ago. It was the game that appeared to get the Browns in the playoffs (until DA blew it in Cincy the following week). This is the third straight year that the Browns have played in Buffalo.

It will be more important then ever that Delhomme doesn't make dumb passes that lead to interceptions. I believe that we'll be able to run at will against the Bills which will lead to scores or put us in position to pin them down deep all game. Games where the weather is going to be bad come down to field position an awful lot so that part of the game will be key. We also have the best bad weather kicker in the league which gives us an even bigger advantage.

I honestly wouldn't be upset if they ran nothing but draws on 3rd and longs...this is a game that I can see him killing us in the bad elements.

snow + wind + hillis = browns win 17-3.

if its gonna be like i think it is, the wind will be blowing hard, a lot of snow because of the lake effect. we should be able to stack the box and stop their run. our offensive line has played solid in the run game. can't wait til sunday! when is the last time we could be semil excited towards the end of the season?

8-0. Two Dawson FGs and a safety on a botched punt attempt by Buffalo. The one Dawson FG as a long one that hit the stanchion bar.

I was up in the 500 level with very few. Small crowd that day. Great game.


For this game, this is a trap game. Buffalo will come out guns a blaze in a futile attempt. If we play smart, pound Hillis, and take advantage of Buffalo coming up in coverage to stop him, we win easily.

I never assume the Browns will win or have an easy game. Ever.

Even when I was growing up and the Browns were a good team every year, it was foolish to presume a victory. Doing so was a sure way to have your heart ripped out, stomped on, put back in and ripped out again. :)

The Browns are the better team and should win going against the Buffalo run defense in bad weather. Turnovers and field position will be important. If they win this battle and continue to play sound defense, they should win by 2 scores.
