This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Cleveland Browns.

We think that Johnny Manziel and the home side do just enough to slow down the suddenly surging Blaine Gabbert and the San Francisco 49ers. These teams are horrible, San Francisco is ranked 32nd overall on offense this year and 28th overall on the defensive side, while Cleveland ranks 26th overall on offense and 29th overall on defense. Manziel and Gabbert are playing for their future careers, so there's still a lot at stake for each pivot, despite their team's being out of the playoff picture. This sets up as a huge letdown spot for San Francisco in our professional opinion, which got a super-human effort out of Gabbert to snap a five-game road losing streak last week. Manziel is the better QB, he'll be plenty focused after being benched for two games for disciplinary reasons, the last time he suited up he had 372 yards vs. a vastly superior Pittsburgh defense back on November 15th. Also note that Cleveland will surely be looking to take out some frustrations after suffering its worst loss last week to the Bengals since 2005. Note that San Francisco is 2-4 ATS on the road this season and just 9-10 ATS its last 19 as an underdog, while Cleveland is 6-4 ATS in its last ten non-conference contests. Lay the short points on the BROWNS.
