Make sure you come in to catch all of your Browns games, plus all the other NFL action at the Clevelander Bar and Grill. We have great food and drink specials during every Browns game. Easy on your wallet, hard on your liver. I have a few NFL picks this week, too. Hopefully the Browns will get some things done during the bye week and come out with a strong second half of the season. Let’s Get Drunk Clevelanders.
Favorites are in BOLD
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Cincinnati Bengals in Jacksonville, EverBank Field
Spread: 2.5
Pick: Cincinnati Bengals
Que? How are the Jaguars favored in any game. The Bengals have an excellent defense and are going to give the Jaguars fits. Take the points, Bengals win 24-13.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Tennessee Titans in Pittsburgh, Heinz Field
Spread: 3
Pick: Tennessee Titans
The Steelers are a mess right now. Roethlisberger in a walking cast, Mendenhall may not play, headhunter/dirtiest player in the NFL James Harrison out. The Titans have a solid offensive line and a good front 7. Take the points in this one, Titans win late 19-17.
New England Patriots vs New York Jets in Foxsboro, Gillette Stadium
Spread: 9
Pick: New York Jets
How on earth am I getting 9 points in the NFL in a matchup between two of the 10 best teams in the league. After being embarassed last week by the Ravens (whose defense is head and shoulders above the Pats defense), the Jets are going to come out fired up to prove they are still a relevant team. The Patriots aren’t going to score like they have been against some middle of the road defensive teams and they aren’t going to shut down the Jets poor offense. Take the points all day, Pats win 27-21.
