Monday Night Football Guarantee - Browns Over Bills

17 November 2008 380 views by Ryan Russell 8 Comments Email Post Print Post

As many of you know, last month I correctly predicted the upset special of the season (Browns over Giants). I would now like to take this opportunity to publicly guarantee that the Cleveland Browns will defeat the Buffalo Bills tonight on Monday Night Football.

Don’t ask me how I know this, or why I know this, just know that I am currently “one for one” in my Monday Night predictions; STILL PERFECT in layman’s terms.

Here’s what needs to happen for my streak of perfection to continue:

Browns secondary will dominate early. Safety Sean Jones will lay down a few punishing hits early, to let the Bills receivers know that he isn’t messing around. Look for a first half interception or two from either McDonald, Jones or Pool.
Running MEN. Jamal Lewis should get at LEAST 20 carries (Jerod for Offensive Coordinator in ‘09!) and punch in at least one touchdown tonight. Also look for screen passes to BOTH Lewis and Harrison to be effective.
Pretty-Boy QB. I must admit, i was not a fan of Brady Quinn in the beginning. I hate Notre Dame, Charlie Weis, and anything that has anything to do with the state of Indiana. My feelings began to change on draft day, though, when I learned that Quinn grew up in Ohio, and saw the photo of him dressed in a miniature Bernie Kosar Jersey. Last week, Quinn was impressive. In spite of the loss, AND in reference to it after the game. Look for Quinn to have around 280 yards passing, and two TD’s. ( I have a weird gut feeling that he may throw one INT, and rush for one TD)

MY PREDICTION:

Cleveland 24

Buffalo 17

I like your prediction! I sure hope so. We need a win in the worst way, and it’d be nice to have another solid performance on MNF.

My first move as OC - GIVE IT TO JEROME HARRISON!!!! Our own thunder and lightning with he and Jamal. How hard is that to see!?!?!

And how did you feel the first time you saw those pics of him playing grab-bag with his buddies’ junk?

But seriously, Rudy, good luck with your prediction. And you’re so right to brag, I mean, your predictions have (cough cough) always turned out to be so (Steelers 4-5 after nine games, cough cough) right.

Yours in first place,

I would like to inform you that I bet my entire paycheck for the first half of November on your pic of the week. I hope your lock is as stone cold as you have said.

Sincerely,
