The Dallas Cowboys travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Cleveland just missed the playoffs last season and are looking to take the next step. Offensively the Browns are very good. Leading them is QB Derek Anderson who has developed into one of the more exciting players in the league. His main targets will be WR Braylon Edwards and TE Kellen Winslow. Leading the ground game is Jamal Lewis. While many of the Browns have been injured in the preseason, they should all be ready for game 1 of the regular season.
The Cowboys on the other hand are used to making the playoffs but have not been able to advance past the 1st round in several seasons. Like the Browns the Boys are loaded on offense with QB Tony Romo and his favorite targets, WR Terrell Owens and TE Jason Witten. Carrying the load on the ground is RB Marion Barber. Defensively the Cowboys also are solid, led by LB Demetrius Ware. Also looking to contribute is new addition Pacman Jones.
While the Browns may be a playoff contender the Cowboys are a Superbowl contender. Both teams have strong offenses but Dallas has the advantage on defense and special teams. Take Dallas -5.5 over Cleveland as they roll to a road win by at least a TD.
