Week 9 is upon us and Gerbs and Taylor are here for your WFNY BrownsCast preview. The Cardinals of Arizona migrated to Cleveland for a matchup of teams trying to get their star quarterbacks back on the field. Topics discussed in this week's episode:
- Will Deshaun Watson put on the pads and play?
- Who's the lead runner in the backfield?
- Is the defense broken or is there something fixable here?
- Plus picks and props
Game Picks! MIA v KC (-1.5) - The first Germany game! Gerbs thinks the Phins get their first win over a quality opponent, Taylor doesn't put much merit on last week's collapse by KC.NYG v LV (-2.0) - The Football Sicko Game of the Week! A team that is replacing their general manager, head coach, offensive coordinator, and starting QB is favored against the New York Giants...and Taylor and Gerbs both picked Las VegasDAL v PHI (-3.0) - Dallas still doesn't have a win over a quality opponent either, and both Taylor and Gerbs think that trend continues, we picked the Birds.BUF v CIN (-2.0) - A "get-right" game for Cinci against the vaunted San Francisco team last week carries over for the Bengals, and Taylor and Gerbs are both in on Cinci too.ARZ v CLE (-8.0) - All in on our BrowniesProp Bets!Browns Pass Yds: O/U 214.5 - Whether it's Watson or Walker or DTR, both Gerbs and Taylor are over this week for the Browns passing gameBrowns Rush Att: O/U 30.5 - And no matter who is running the rock, 30.5 rushing attempts is not high enough for us to pick the underBrowns Leading Rusher? Separation! Gerbs predicts Jerome Ford is the leading rusher and who the team wants getting the most while Taylor thinks the early exit from Week 8 was a mirage and Kareem Hunt leads the way against ArizonaCards Rush Yds: O/U 110.5 - A return to dominance because it's possible that rookie Clayton Tune gets the start here, but both Taylor and Gerbs picked the under on rush yards. Make them beat you through the air!CLE Sacks+Takeaways: O/U 5.5 - Gerbs points out the defense has played better when they *aren't* getting takeaways and thusly picks the under, Taylor goes overBrowns Cover?: Y/N - Eight points is a lot to overcome, but Gerbs says yes to the cover, while Taylor says nada. But we both think Cleveland gets the win.
