Indianapolis Colts +1
How bad is it in Cleveland? A rookie who just barely made the squad last week as a wide receiver/kick returner was practicing this week as a defensive back as Cleveland's secondary is banged up. Last year's Browns defense, on paper, was much better than this year's version, yet Harrison and Manning torched it for 28 points in one half for a 28-23 win. With a healthy Edge at RB and an underachieving defensive front for Cleveland, (not to mention 3 new starting LBs), Indy should have no problem moving the ball and scoring today. Weather will be 78 and sunny so no factor there on the lakefront. Indy defense starting to come around under Dungy's direction. Cleveland's offensive weapons are plenty with Green, Johnson, Morgan, Northcutt and Holcomb. However, their offensive line is hurting with starting LT Verba gone for the year and 2 people who couldn't win starting jobs being forced to step into the left side of the O-line.
