The Browns have suspended star TE Kellen Winslow for tomorrow’s game with the Jaguars due to him voicing displeasure over the way his injury was handled two weeks ago.  What ever happended to freedom of speech?  Do the Browns not want to win football games?  Winslow has caught 21 passes for 187 yards (8.9 avg) with 1 TD grab so far this season.  Steve Heiden will replace Winslow in the starting lineup tomorrow and he has caught 7 passes for 78 yards (11.1 avg) without a TD catch.  The Browns’ passing offense will likely suffer against the Jags but Heiden is a better run blocker than Winslow is.

The New York Giants are proving last year wasn’t a fluke as they have been dominating so far this season.  They will try to push the Browns around in the running game with Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw against a defense that is allowing 126.0 yards rushing per game and 4.1 yards per carry.  The Browns do have six interceptions this season so Eli Manning will have to be careful throwing the ball.  But, the Browns don’t have a CB near the size of Plaxico Burress so look for some jump balls from the Giants.

With TE Kellen Winslow not playing tonight due to injury the Browns will likely try to keep the ball on the ground with Jamal Lewis against a Giants’ defense that is only allowing 82.0 yards rushing per game and 3.7 yards per carry.  Derek Anderson has been sacked 8 times already this season and that’s not a good thing for the Browns who have to deal with the Giants’ D-Line who have racked up 15 sacks already this season.  Braylon Edwards and Donte’ Stallworth must be ready to take some hits as the Browns won’t likely have the time to throw deep.

PREDICTION:  NEW YORK GIANTS 30, CLEVELAND BROWNS 24
