Las Vegas - Gonna lock in on the Browns -3 points over the Colts this afternoon, and it's ALL about the defense. Normally shy away from road favorites, especially with a backup QB, but man, this Cleveland defense is, as they say in Boston, WICKED GOOD! Jim Schwartz is the defensive coordinator and he is regarded as one of the top shelf D-coordinators in the NFL. The Brownies held the potent 49ers offense to only 17 points and harassed Brock Purdy into an ugly effort (12 of 27 for only 125 yards). And they currently lead the league for fewest yards allowed, fewest points allowed, as well as fewest first down and third-down conversions allowed. The only hesitation is Cleveland's backup, P.J. Walker. Deshaun Watson is not ready yet, so we just need P.J. to manage the game and hold the turnovers to a minimum. Speaking of backups, Indianapolis is also using one. Gardner Minshew has been around but he tossed three INTs in last week's 37-20 loss at Jacksonville. Thinking that Cleveland will rely on the running game that gobbled up 160 yards against a VERY tough San Francisco defense. Like the Browns to turn my bank account bright GREEN!

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. Looking at the Sunday Night game between the Dolphins and Eagles, and noticed that Miami is KILLING it on the spread charts. The Fish have covered five of six so far this season, and dating back to the end of 2022, eight of the last nine (89%).
