after sweeping yet another card this past sunday we'll try to add to the pile monday night....originally hedgie was staying away from this line as the eags were favored by 13.5 or 14. double digit dogs were on fire early in the season going 17-2 heading into thanksgiving but they have since cooled off going 1-6. but the betting public sees the browns as given up. they are out of the playoffs and down to their 3rd string QB , Dorsey. They look pathetic vs the Titans last week while the eags appear to be surging. So the line has jumped to 15.5 and is going higher. The hedgie knows one thing: NFL PLAYERS GIVE IT THEIR ALL ON NATIONAL TV. The Browns have posted 2 solid efforts vs Giants and BIlls on Monday Night and will come out with Max effort tonight. Hedgie expects to see a lil wildcat tonight from Josh Cribbs
WILCAT + CRIBBS = HEDGIE COVER
(regardless Cribbs will do soemthing to help the Browns cover)
Dorsey has a weak arm but he diagnoses blitzes and can pick up a hot read. The eags should eventually pull away. SO the true Value here comes in the first half as the Browns are getting +9.5.
BROWNS + 9.5 FIST HALF 2 stars
