The Chargers are looking to regain focus after suffering a humiliating defeat to Denver last week. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
San Diego Chargers (3-3) vs Cleveland Browns (1-6) ATS Matchup Stats<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Gambling Insight!<\/a> |\u00a0Buy Ray’s Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n After being up 24-0 they gave up the game\u2019s final 35 points to lose – at home no less. \u00a0Hitting the road might be the best thing for them and visiting Cleveland is about as soft a landing spot as you can find right now.<\/p>\n The AFC West is mediocre and they are in the race but can\u2019t afford to lose this week.<\/p>\n The Chargers continue to be an enigma. \u00a0On offense they have a good nucleus with Phillip Rivers at QB, Ryan Mathews running the ball and big Malcolm Floyd as the primary receiver.<\/p>\n TE Antonio Gates may be slowing down but he can still be counted on to make plays. \u00a0It just never seems to add up to great success.<\/p>\n They could use some better play on defense but they are not horrible there either giving up just 22ppg.<\/p>\n Last week\u2019s humiliating collapse must have sucked some points out of this one. \u00a0Actually I think a lot as it might have been 7 if the Chargers had closed the deal. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n You get a smaller number but it comes with a more fragile team. \u00a0Still playing anyone against Cleveland and only needing a FG to win is a high value play.<\/p>\n Cleveland<\/strong><\/p>\n The Cleveland Browns are bad but at least there is a glimmer of hope for the future.<\/p>\n The enter Sunday having been clipped by Indianapolis after getting their lone victory against the rival Bengals. \u00a0Now they are a home dog against SD – they are 2-1 ATS in Cleveland this season. I wouldn\u2019t say they are turning the corner but at least they aren\u2019t an embarrassment.<\/p>\n That glimmer is because mature rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden is showing some positive signs – the last two games he has had QB ratings over 90. \u00a0Unfortunately this team can not afford mistakes and Weeden does turn the ball over.<\/p>\n The other key rookie, running back Trent Richardson has been a disappointment so far. \u00a0It could be the line but he also looks a little tentative out there. \u00a0The Browns need some big plays and he has not provided many.<\/p>\n Cleveland is at home and the Chargers are the Chargers so really anything can happen.<\/p>\n Odds are the Browns will play them pretty close losing by a FG for sure, probably more.<\/p>\n Unless this runs up to 3.5 you should probably stay away on the cleveland side or else tease them all the way to 9 or 10 points. \u00a0On second thought don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n Just let it go.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0San Diego -2.5 Chargers vs Browns NFL Football Spread\/Handicapping The Chargers are looking to regain focus after suffering a humiliating defeat to Denver last week. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":24075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[56873,1788,4898,10717,844,3687,1101,56871,56872,3693],"class_list":["post-56707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-chargers-vs-browns","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-nfl-football-odds","tag-nfl-football-predictions","tag-nfl-picks","tag-nfl-week-8-lines","tag-san-diego-chargers","tag-san-diego-chargers-vs-cleveland-browns","tag-san-diego-vs-cleveland","tag-week-8-free-picks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56707"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56846,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56707\/revisions\/56846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
