The Brown's offense is one dimensional, if only because Jamal Lewis is a complete joke and hasn't been worth a damn since his big season with Baltimore. He is actually a lot like the over-rated version of Dayne. Big and sluggish and not very productive. The difference is that people actually expect something else of him. This will leave the Texans room to focus on their strong passing game (as I am sure that Kubiak has been losing sleep over throughout the week). Unfortunately, I am expecting Anderson to have a pretty good day. He'll probably throw multiple TD passes to his strong targets, who are matched up against our depleted secondary. With that said, our offense is clicking and their defense has been pitiful. Here are some of Clevelands defensive rankings:

Points/Game 29.4 (32nd)
Total Yards/Gm 406.3 (32nd)
Rush Yards/Gm 136.8 (28th)
Pass Yards/Gm 269.5 (31st)

I see Schaub having a career day today. I see him throwing at least 2 TDs, for over 350 yards. If you have him in your fantasy leagues, start him. I am also expecting a decent day out of Dayne, who has shown signs of progression in recent weeks. He wont be devastating, but he'll get his.

All in all, I'm expecting a high scoring affair, but ultimately I am expecting the Texans to use the poor Browns' defense to eat up to control the football and keep Derek Anderson off of the field.

Texans - 31
Browns - 23
