THURSDAY FREE NFL PRESEASON PLAY

It is preseason week two with four games on the schedule today. My free play focus comes with the Cleveland Browns at home against Detroit, in which Cleveland is a slight favorite of just 1.5. I like the Browns in this scenario, as the team is feeding off the new atmosphere under first year head coach Rob Chudzinski. Brandon Weeden in limited action looked solid and comfortable in week one action against St. Louis. Detroit on the other hand has been vulnerable in many areas over the last year and a half. They have a lot to prove in multiple positions, and there is pressure mounting on Matt Stafford and Jim Schwartz. This is a good spot even in the preseason to ride a young team like Cleveland, that has no expectations and is at home. They’ll win the turnover battle amongst the starters and backups. Revamping is needed in Detroit and it will be ever glaring the entire season.
