Buffalo Bills vs. Cleveland Browns

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Bills Chatter,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Wednesday 12 December 2007 at 11:32 pm

Both of these football teams have there eyes on making the playoffs and because of that this will be a huge football game.  The Bills are 7-6 on the season but they haven’t beaten a team with a winning record all season long.  The Browns are 8-5 on the season and they are currently holding the 2nd Wild Card spot in the AFC.  The Browns have played great at home as they are 5-1 there despite only outscoring their opponents 186-170.

Look for the Bills to come out running just like they did last weekend against the Dolphins as the Browns are allowing 130.5 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry so far this season.  Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson will need to have good games to keep the Browns offense off of the field.  Look for rookie QB Trent Edwards to have some success throwing the ball deep to Lee Evans against a Browns defense that is allowing 259.2 yards passing per game. 

The Browns will probably come out throwing against a Bills pass defense that is allowing 251.4 yards passing per game so far this season.  The Bills don’t have much of a pass rush and Derek Anderson has only been sacked 11 times this season which is bad news for the Bills.  Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow and Joe Jurevicius give the Browns a huge size advantage over the smaller DBs of the Bills.  If the Browns get the lead in the game they will attempt to pound the ball with Jamal Lewis who is having an outstanding season (921 yards rushing, 9 TDs).

PREDICTION:  BROWNS 34, BILLS 27
