Football Betting – The Cleveland Browns finally destroyed the bagel in their win column last week and won their first game. The victory came courtesy of the Oakland Raiders who are one of the worst teams in the NFL. Many would argue that the Raiders are the worst period. This week they get a much tougher test as they roll in to Carolina to face the Panthers.

I’ve said it before. The Cleveland Browns are masters at losing home games in heartbreaking fashion. The Cleveland Browns were up 14-3 over the then 2-0 Baltimore Ravens going into the 4th quarter. Five minutes later their lead was shrunk to 14-12. In typical fashion, the Browns allowed the Raven to drive and get into field goal range. With 20 seconds to go in the game, Matt Stover nailed a 52 yard field goal to give the Ravens a 15-14 lead and eventual win.

The Cleveland Browns signed multiple draft picks to contracts this weekend. D’Qwell Jackson, a linebacker, was a second round draft selection this season. He signed a four year deal. Also signing a four year deal was fourth round selection and fellow linebacker Leon Williams. Guard Isaac Sowells signed a four year deal. Completing the round of four year deals offered was running back Jerome Harrison.

The Cleveland Browns just can’t get a break. LeCharles Bentley, the Pro Bowl center, is lost for the season. It’s like a nightmare. The former Ohio State player tore his left patellar tendon in the first team drill yesterday morning. Optimism in the Browns’ camp is fading fast.
