Monday Night Football Betting – McCown Gets Start For Browns Over Wayward Manziel

Join BetAnySports NOW for this week’s NFL Betting Lines!
What has been going on with the Cleveland Browns lately is a mess. Not only has this team lost five games in a row, but their best laid plans as they come out of the bye week were set back. Just at a time when the Browns were getting ready to see if their quarterback of the future was going to indeed HAVE a future with their squad, there was the a screwup somewhere along the way. So Johnny Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner, will NOT be getting the start at quarterback, as coach Mike Pettine goes back to previous starter Josh McCown. That might actually give Cleveland a better chance as they play host to the Baltimore Ravens in the Monday night game that begins at 8:30 PM ET at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland. BetAnySports customers can watch the game on ESPN, and then they can continue to place wagers against the football betting odds in real-time, through the state-of-the-art software available with Live Betting Extra.
Ravens vs Browns – BETANYSPORTS NFL BETTING LINE:

Manziel was a first-round draft choice, and had showed some poise at the controls of the Cleveland offense. In fact, he’d thrown for 372 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though it was in the process of a 30-9 defeat. It had been announced that he would be this team’s quarterback the rest of the way, as they evaluated in for the future. But there was some video of him partying in a nightclub in Austin, TX, and the story around it apparently disturbed Bettine to point where he immediately removed the second-year man from the starting position and demoted him to third string. Manziel has not been suspended; instead, is taking snaps with the scout team.
BetAnySports patrons know that the Browns have had all kinds of problems running the football this season. In fact, no running back has averaged much higher than three yards per carry. That is unacceptable, and the Ravens can shut that running game down if they want to, as they are allowing only 3.7 yards per carry.
McCown has had decent numbers; he has completed 65% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and only four interceptions. But he is just not a winning quarterback, and thus as a journeyman he is not part of this teams future, at least in the realistic sense. In the previous game between these two squads, the Browns won a thriller in overtime by the score of 33-30, and in that game McCown had 457 yards through the air. So it is reasonable to say that his presence gives this team the best chance to win.
