00:00Is this a case where we're looking at a potential trap game for the Patriots?

00:04Browns are a good defense.

00:06They're seven and a half point favorites.

00:08It's expected to be a low scoring game.

00:10So how are you a touchdown plus favorite in a game where the over under is 40, 40 and a half, whatever it is.

00:17You're not expecting much from the Cleveland offense.

00:19That's why.

00:19There's not a lot of margin for error, though, in there is my point.

00:22Does this qualify as a trap game?

00:24No, I don't think it does.

00:26Because I think there has been an emphasis put on the home games and winning some home games.

00:32This road stretch was really impressive.

00:34They're 4-0 on the road.

00:35Mike Vrabel referred to them as Road Warriors, the Legion of Doom.

00:39But so far this year, your two losses, one of them now really in hindsight looks bad because Vegas might be one of the worst teams in the league.

00:47Their only win is you.

00:48Yeah, and that's the first game of the season.

00:50And Gino carved you up, smoked you.

00:53And then you turn it over a million times at home against Pittsburgh.

00:57And so your only home win so far is Carolina, another game where there was a slow start.

01:02But then, you know, then you rolled after that.

01:05But I think there's a lot of point of emphasis on that.

01:08Plus, there's Vrabels.

01:10It's not even coach speak when you're talking about how good the Cleveland defense is.

01:13So even though overall they're not a very good team, they have reasons not to take them lightly, specifically Miles Garrett.

01:19And even the rest of the guys on defense, they want to keep their winning streak going.

01:24You know, any given Sunday kind of thing, yeah, there's going to be upsets.

01:27There's going to be teams that are favored by or seven-point dogs that win this weekend probably.

01:32But I wouldn't view it as any kind of trap game because I don't think it's like, oh, we're looking ahead to Atlanta.

01:38Or we're looking ahead to, like, if you had Buffalo next week, maybe.

01:42Maybe we'd qualify for that.

01:44But, no, I think they know one of the things they need to do is figure out the starts, right, offensively.

01:49And more specifically, defensive starts.

01:53And start racking up some wins at home.

01:55So, no, I think there's a lot of reasons for them to be all geared up.

01:58So, no, I think there's a lot of reasons for them to be all geared up.
