Ravens 31, Browns 17
What a week. Griffin, Salazar, Cookie. At least we have the Buckeyes. And the 73-win Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. But the Browns' "basic" defense couldn't stop Oklahoma, let alone a real NFL team.
It's a long day for the team AND the fans. Two late scores make the final seem a lot closer than the game was. Boo birds will be out in force, even in the first half.
Even the worst Browns teams have a surprise win in them, and today's home opener is it for 2016. McCown has played well against the Ravens, and a couple of our young defenders made impact plays in last week's loss. I have no idea where this optimism is coming from, and it may not last a quarter, but I'll ride the good vibes for all they're worth.
Ravens 24, Browns 17
I think McCown keeps it close, but we kind of suck.
Ratbirds 20, Browns 17
Thanks Obama!

Not even my halftime ice cream sandwich can save this team.

I learned to handicap NFL games through a three-credit online course at Trump University. Best investment EVER!
