Cleveland Browns fans have a great deal to be excited about regarding the up-coming NFL season. Fans and Media alike are thrilled with several of the rookies taking center stage in Berea, especially Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden. Yes, the Browns, after suffering through another losing season, a meager 4 wins, are looking forward to an improved and exciting offense stepping onto the field. Hope, change and victory is on the horizon as team president Mike Holmgren declares that a "major leap" will unfold on Lake Erie. Well, Las Vegas doesn't agree.

It seems that the Browns and Rodney Dangerfield have one glaring problem in common, nobody respects them. Cantor Race & Sports Book from the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas has weighed in with their tally of victories the Browns will achieve this season, they did not need a calculator considering they expect the Browns to Lose it all.

Week 1.   Philadelphia Eagles (-7) at Cleveland Browns
Week 2.   Cleveland Browns (+7) at Cincinnati Bengals
Week 3.   Buffalo Bills (-1) at Cleveland Browns
Week 4.   Cleveland Browns (+10) at Baltimore Ravens
Week 5.   Cleveland Browns (+9.5) at New York Giants
Week 6.   Cincinnati Bengals (-2) at Cleveland Browns
Week 7.   Cleveland Browns (+3) at Indianapolis Colts
Week 8.   San Diego Chargers (-3.5) at Cleveland Browns
Week 9.   Baltimore Ravens (-5.5) at Cleveland Browns
Week 10.  BYE
Week 11.  Cleveland Browns (+7.5) at Dallas Cowboys
Week 12.  Pittsburgh Steelers (-6) at Cleveland Browns
Week 13.  Cleveland Browns (+4.5) at Oakland Raiders
Week 14.  Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) at Cleveland Browns
Week 15.  Washington Redskins (-1) at Cleveland Browns
Week 16.  Cleveland Browns (+8.5) at Denver Broncos
Week 17.  Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers ( no line due to Pitt resting starters for playoffs )

So, they say the Browns are doomed to drop them all. Evidently they have never seen the "clay pigeon" video of Brandon Weeden the Browns possible starting quarterback, nor have they seen Trent Richardson who is lovingly referred to as a "freak" by Weeden. But then--maybe they have seen the Browns schedule, considered the third hardest this season.

Predictions are little more than a guess at an outcome, an outcome that can be effected by many changes before the season even starts. So--what do you think, do the Browns lose them all? Is this "major leap" Holmgren speaks of merely a code for his flight back to Seattle?
