Multiple chances, multiple times. Sometimes you just got to cut your losses. It's a shame, as he had the potential to have a hall of fame esque career with his skill set.

Gordon got another chance ... New England needs new blood

The Patriots have shown a willingness over the years to pick up discarded star wide receivers for low-round draft choices. Gordon is the latest, acquired in an unexpected trade with the Browns on Monday for a fifth-round pick.

Gordon had a sensational 2013 season with the Browns, leading the league in receiving yards and earning a Pro Bowl and all-league selection. But he has played only 11 games in the four seasons since, sidelined by several suspensions for substance abuse.

Sure I picked two upsets, but ...

I won 10 lost 4 and tied 1

Shock, the football people that pick winners are picking the Browns over the Jets tomorrow night on Thursday night football September 20th (not available on all channels)

This should be a great game it's being played in Cleveland ... I'll go for the Browns one more time, after losing 17 games in a row they have to win someday.

Yes, the Browns have not won a game since Dec. 24, 2016. Yes, they are 1-35-1 in their last 37 games. Yes, they have not been a playoff team since the Bush administration.

Just don’t tell the Jets about it.

“They’re a great team,” Jets tackle Kelvin Beachum said. “We don’t have time to be concerned with their record.”

Great?

That’s a little much, but the Browns have looked improved this year. They tied the Steelers in Week 1 to end their 17-game losing streak, which included an 0-16 season last year. Then, they fought the Saints down to the wire, losing a 21-18 heartbreaker.

As a result, the Browns are favored by three points over the Jets on Thursday night, just the second time in 35 games under coach Hue Jackson that Cleveland has appeared on the left side of the point spread.

Wow! August picked the Browns too

Patriots @ Lions should be an easy pick for New England

I hear Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are not happy with each other, but it's probably just a click bait rumor.

I have made a terrible decision.


But only because the Offense can't stay on the field.

Got to keep the faith ... I didn't even know who this guy Mayfield was till he came on the field with just a few minutes left in the first half. I know who he is now, a winner.

Wouldn't it be great if the Browns won the rest of their games this year and even go to the playoffs.

For those that don't know the Cleveland Browns won their first game since December 24th 2016 last night against the New York Jets 21-17.

Did you know that the first Monday night football game was played between the Browns and Jets back in 1970?

About being a fan of a team.

I have a lot more respect for a fan who support his or her team whatever the situations is during the season

Than a fan who drop their team because they start to loose.

Back to Sundays games.

Have taken notice from your picks.

Going to use them when I make this weeks Bet12 on this Danish betting page.

It's why i will never pick against the Patriots. They could be 50 point underdogs and i'd still pick them to win. Some day it might mean a regular -1 on my pick count but in the last 15 years it's been good to me.
