I for see cleveland winning this game but I hope i am wrong.It is a n play for me right now. I am in a contest where you rank the games. I played cleveland but as a 5 points. What are your thoughts.Comment -

I still don't know what to think of this game on Sunday.
I though this was a good read:
It's "Johnny Football" time in Cleveland. Johnny Manziel will make his first career start for the Cleveland Browns this week against the Cincinnati Bengals, as first reported by Fox Sports Insider Jay Glazer, and that's lit a fire under football bettors.
Manziel's first career start has sparked massive betting interest at online sportsbooks, with money coming in strong on Cleveland following the announcement and moving the Browns from as big as +2.5 to 1-point favorites hosting the Bengals Sunday.
SportsInteraction.com was one of those markets that reacted to a flood of money on the underdog and moved the spread across the fence, making the Browns brief -1 favorites before bettors bought back the Bengals as 1-point underdogs and pushed the line back to a pick'em.
"Yeah just heavy action from the 'Johnny Football' crowd," says a spokeman for SportsInteraction, stating that about 56 percent of bets are on the Browns. "Our guys expect it to settle down now that the decision has been made. I don't see the Browns becoming the favorite in this game just because they've decided to start their backup QB. Bettors closer to Sunday won't be as caught up in the QB circus."
Online shop Bookmaker.ag also had the Browns as low as -1 before action came in on Cincinnati at the discount spread.
"We have taken a few more Browns bets since Manziel was named the starter," says John Lester, senior lines manager for BookMaker.eu. "However, the -1 we were dealing earlier today has moved back to a pick because of a sharp syndicate backing the Bengals at +1."
PinnacleSports.com opened Cincinnati -1 and is currently dealing a pick despite having more bets come in on the Bengals' line.
"It's still very early in Bengals-Browns betting, but we're seeing some conflicting trends. The early BetShare - our name for the percent of bets placed - favors the Bengals, with over 70 percent of spread bets backing Cincy," says a spokesperson for PinnacleSports. "Early bets tend to move the market more than late ones, but that move suggests the bigger money has been on Manziel mania."
According to Michael Stewart, an oddsmaker with CarbonSports.ag who moved Cleveland from +2.5 to +1, the rush of Cleveland action has balanced out the early money on Cincinnati.
In Las Vegas, many books are dealing Cleveland +1 but it's more of a reaction to the online markets taking action. Ed Salmons, an oddsmaker for the Las Vegas Westgate Superbook says there has been zero increase in action on Cleveland since Manziel was officially named starter.
According to Jeff Stoneback, sportsbook manager at the MGM Mirage, "Johnny Football" fever hasn't hit there yet either, but expects the Browns to be a very popular play with the tourists as the weekend gets closer. Stoneback also says sharps will be keeping a close eye on how far this spread moves.
"The pros might be waiting to see what happens this week and perhaps get the Bengals as +1 or +1.5 underdog depending on how much the tourists jump in," he says. "At this point, with the way (Brian) Hoyer's playing, (Manziel) doesn't give (the Browns) a better chance to win but he doesn't give them a worse chance either. They really have nothing to lose by playing him."
Manziel replaces Brian Hoyer, who started Cleveland's first 13 games but has struggled recently, throwing just one touchdown to eight interceptions in the last five games, completing 53.5 percent of his passes.
Cleveland did find success against the spread with Hoyer under center, going 7-4-2 ATS with him this season.
In Manziel's only extended game action against Buffalo, he went 5-8 for 63 yards and a rushing touchdown.
The total has moved as low as 43 points after opening at 44.5.Comment -
hoyer smoked the bengals or dalton played like shit. hoyer did his best o donnell impression.Roethlisberger(sp) owns the bengals so you can overlook that loss. Johnny manziel is a stooge who won't be worth a shit. The receiver in t.b. made manziel . Bengals usually play well as long as not primetime game, not steelers or not playoffs. You got me thinking jay. thank youComment -
