Cleveland opens as a 6 point underdog.

Thoughts?

Line seems low. With Haden nicked up, I like Bye -10

Bye is probably the most consistent team in the league. I've always thought they were kind of a pushover though. A lot of teams seem to like using this match-up to rest starters and get healthy.

Nobody has ever scored on or beaten the bye.

Correct, the bye week is undefeated since it assembled.

Is Earnest Byner playing for this team?

(Before anyone else says it, I know, it was lame).

I think they need to trade Robiskie to the "Bye" team.

There will still be more Browns fans tuning into this game than Bengals fans tuning into the Bengals game.

Since Mangini is the coach of the Bye team....it would make sense.

Oddly enough, Bye Week has no wins either

Yeah I was just gonna say there's already more posts on this thread than the Bengals game thread last weekend.

You're on. No way Bye scores on Cleveland's D.

No, it's an away game. Bengals fans can actually watch it on TV.

Not sure if two yard pass plays work against the BYE either...I will take the bye by 24

From what I saw of the game last week, Hillis probably will get as many touches in key situations against the bye as he did against the Titans. Was there a reason he was on the sideline while Hardesty was trying to set the single-game record for drops?

Rumor is that the front office wasn't thrilled that he didn't play against Miami.... so they are holding it against him.

Damn it, was going to say I saw this one wasn't going to be a blackout since it's sold out but the joke is too late.

My thought: For having an honored avatar like yours, starting this thread makes you appear to be a jerk.
