GAME:
Major concern with Cutler is turning the football over
8 interceptions and 3 lost fumbles for Cutler this year (4-4 record in starts)
1 INT and 0 lost fumbles by McCown (3-2 in starts)
Bears can't survive if Bad Jay shows up and continuously gives ball away
Browns 8th most INT's in the league with 15
O/U for Cutler Turnovers: 1.5
Spiegs – Under Laurence - Under
Joe Haden one of the better cornerbacks in the league
Does he defend mostly Marshall? Or try to slow down budding superstar Alshon Jeffery?
Bears offensive gameplan and Cutler's love of throwing to Marshall both go into this
Marshall averaging 9.75 targets per game over last 4 (all McCown starts)
Marshall been targeted 132 times so far this year – just over 10 per game
In Cutler starts: 80 targets (8 games…10 per) In McCown starts: 52 (5 games…10.4 per)
O/U for Brandon Marshall Targets: 10.5

O/U for Browns rushing yards: 135.5
