im a homer and i think the browns will win every game.. i personally think eric will be fired, the players will start to pack it in. i just hope colt keeps showing promise and keeps showing he is our guy. but then the browns seem to play to our competetion every week, so who knows. its the NFL anything can happen.

browns 24
ravens 17

If the Steelers beat the Panthers, it would create that fun scenario where the Browns can help the Steelers clinch the AFC North at 1 p.m. next Sunday.

Barring a 30+ point fantasy performance from AP tomorrow night, I'll have Ray Rice going in my fantasy championship next weekend. I'm going to pick with my heart here.

Browns 45
Ravens 42

6 TDs for Ray Ray.

Ray Ray will either have 38 yards or 170 and 3 td's. Nothing in between for that guy this year.

The Ravens will be too motivated to let one slip against the Browns.

Not sure if I like it or not, but Mangini has to be gone now right? Can't finish with the same record as last year and keep your job. Sadly, Cleveland wasn't on Cowher's "wishlist".

Daboll should be gone not Mangini.

Rice should have another big day but no promises.

An upset would be cool, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

No way in hell the Ravens don't win this especially since they have the same record as the steelers. If the Browns pull an upset it is more likely going to happen against the steelers.

I don't know, the Browns played a competitive game against the Ravens last time. Hillis had a big game.

I also liked McCoy's actions late in the game yesterday, showing some leadership.

I think the Browns will come out at home and play a decent game.

where has the defense been? giving up that many rushing yards to the bills and bengals is inexcusable. they need to step their games up

Nobody talks about it, but the loss of Fujita has coincided with the decline of the defense. Not having him in the middle to make sure people are positioned and making the defensive calls -- not to mention that he's a solid tackler and defender -- has hurt a lot.

You may think one man shouldn't make such a difference, but we all know that it happens all the time with teams.

I don't know if the defense can rise up enough to help pull off an upset; just not sure if there's enough energy left in those troops to do it again. Teams like Cleveland, with basically no depth, usually struggle at the end of the season; especially if they have a few key injuries.
