Oakland Raiders vs. Cleveland Browns

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General by admin on Thursday 24 December 2009 at 12:57 pm

This should be a fast football game on Sunday as neither team will be passing much.  That means that Jerome Harrison will be having another large workload this weekend against a Raiders’ D that is allowing 148.9 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry.  Chris Jennings and Josh Cribbs will also likely get a few carries each this week.  Derek Anderson is starting this week and the Raiders have a great set of CBs.  So when the Browns pass the ball look for TE Evan Moore to get a lot of passes thrown his way.

Charlie Frye is starting for the Raiders at QB this week so look for the Raiders to also keep the ball on the ground.  The Browns must gang up to stop Michael Bush, Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden and force the Raiders to throw the ball.  If the Browns can slow down the Raiders running game they should win this football game because Charlie Frye isn’t going to beat them through the air.

PREDICTION:  BROWNS 17, RAIDERS 16
