Football betting odds don’t like the Browns to win this season but weirder things have happened.

The Browns have had just 1 winning season over the last 7 years and they won just 5 games a year ago. The Browns did add veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme in the off-season and they’ve got a new direction under squad president Mike Holmgren. Last season the Browns started 1-11 nevertheless they won their last 4 games.



Holmgren was assistant coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 1986 to 1991. He became head coach of the Packers from 1992 to 1998, then of the Seattle Seahawks from 1999 to 2008. In the course of his time with these 3 teams, he’s noted for his work in shaping quarterbacks such as Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Steve Young, and Matt Hasselbeck. He’s become identified as 1 of the greatest coaches in the NFL. He took a break from coaching at the conclusion of the 2008 season, worked as an analyst for NBC’S coverage of the 2009 Super Bowl, and agreed to the job to be president of the Cleveland Browns at the conclusion of 2009.

There has been at least 1 squad that has made a dramatic improvement from 1 season to the next at the online sportsbook every year since 2002. The Browns actually did it in 2007 as they evened up for the AFC North title a year following concluding in dead last.

The question to answer this season is whether Cleveland can be the surprise squad in NFL betting in 2010. There are many positives for the Browns nevertheless they do have some spots of worry. The Browns ought to be vastly improved at quarterback. Delhomme is an NFL veteran and he’s a major upgrade over Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn. Cleveland does have some receiving expertise although it’s young, and the squad can run the ball with Jerome Harrison. The defense wasn’t very good yet in the last 4 games they were a bit better as they held two of their last 4 opponents to ten points or less.

What may assist the Browns in 2010 is their division. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a number of questions while the Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a season in which almost it all went their way. Cleveland can be competitive against the other two teams, though the Ravens are going to be challenging.

The first portion of the season is going to decide if Cleveland has a shot to be a shocking squad in 2010. They start up with winnable matches versus the Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs. If they can somehow start 2-0 they could turn some heads and get some folks in Cleveland to feel there is hope for the 2010 season.
