(Rotation #156) Cleveland +3.5*? Maybe the biggest upset of the week to date is the fact that the Browns are going to be using QB Brian Hoyer instead of QB Johnny Manziel under center in this game against the Colts. There is plenty of motivation here for a couple Indy players to succeed, as both KR/PR Josh Cribbs and RB Trent Richardson were jettisoned from the Browns last season. Both have already said if they score a touchdown, they're jumping into the Dawg Pound. Head Coach Mike Pettine is right about one thing for our money: Hoyer gives the team the better chance of winning this game. What else gives the Browns the edge? Their corners are going to be able to match up with WR TY Hilton and the gang just like the New England Patriots did. It could be a frustrating day for QB Andrew Luck and the Colts' offense.

(Rotation #169) Buffalo +9.5*? For our money, the Broncos really haven't been all that impressive over the course of the last few weeks. The common thread with all of the teams which have challenged the Denver offense this year is a strong defensive line. Buffalo might not have DT Marcell Dareus in this one, but the rest of that front four is fantastic as well. In fact, this might be the best defensive line in the league. QB Peyton Manning isn't going to get himself sacked a ton, but we know that he isn't the same quarterback when he doesn't have the time to scan the field and make proper decisions. The Bills aren't great offensively, but if they can get into the 20s in this game, their defense should do enough to at least make it so a cover is reachable.

(Rotation #178) San Diego +3.5*? QB Tom Brady and the gang could never lose back-to-back games, right? That's the thought of the common bettor at this point, but it is providing a great opportunity on the super sharp Super Chargers for the second straight week. San Diego has already proven that it can beat some of the best teams in the league, and last week's win on the road against the Baltimore Ravens might have been the moment that it all came together. The Chargers have the ability to win this game SU, and quite frankly, we're a bit surprised to see New England favored by more than a field goal in a week when it flew straight from Green Bay to San Diego without going back to Massachusetts at all.
