Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 3-point favorites versus the Browns, while the game’s total is sitting at 50.
Manziel has said that being placed back on the bench will only motivate him to get the call the next time and the leash may be short for Hoyer, whose completion percentage has dipped to 56.2, 33rd among 34 qualified quarterbacks in the NFL. Hoyer will be without one of his best possession targets in Miles Austin, who was placed on injured reserve due to a kidney ailment discovered hours after he had seasons highs with nine catches and 86 yards against the Bills. The run game, which managed only 74 yards against Buffalo, also remains a question mark with the status of committee leader Isaiah Crowell (hip) up in the air and rookie Terrance West coming off a tough outing in which he had eight yards on five carries and coughed up a fumble that was returned for a score.
Cleveland was a 26-10 loser in its last match on the road against the Bills. They failed to cover the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 36 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 7-5 SU,6-5-1 ATS
Cleveland is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games
Cleveland is 8-15 SU in its last 23 games
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Cleveland’s last 8 games
Cleveland is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 games at home
Among the many storylines surrounding this one is the return to Cleveland of former No. 3 overall pick running back Trent Richardson, who was abruptly shipped by the Browns to Indianapolis early last season and has targeted this date as a special one. “I don’t want to say it’s a revenge game, but it’s going to be a lot of emotion put in this game,” said Richardson, who has averaged just 3.1 yards per carry in 25 games with the Colts and finished with 12 yards on eight carries while playing second fiddle to Dan Herron (88 yards, one touchdown) last week. Pagano said he is still committed to giving Richardson his share of carries.
The Colts were a 49-27 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Redskins. They covered the -7.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (76) made winners of OVER bettors.
