The Buffalo Bills are facing off against the resurgent Cleveland Browns. The Brows traded away their starting running back, Trent Richardson, and have won their last 2 games since that move. They also made a move with their starting quarterback and it looks like they have turned some things around. The Cleveland defense has been phenomenal this season and is a big reason for why they have won their last couple of games.
The Bills have had injuries to both of their running backs, CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson, but will need some big performances from them. Buffalo has dropped 5 straight road games, but will be looking to turn things around tonight.

Alonso has had an interception in 3 straight games and will be looking to continue that streak tonight against the Browns. He is one of the top rookie prospects this season and is making a big impact for the Bills defense. He will always be around the football making plays.
Browns Player to Watch: Brian Hoyer

Give some love in the direction of Brian Hoyer. He has led this team to a couple of wins in a row and is looking to get the Browns a winning record after tonight. After being the backup to Tom Brady for so many years, he has finally gotten his opportunity to shine and he as done an excellent job with the Browns offense.

It is a new day in the NFL, especially when I am saying that the Browns have a solid squad and have a really tough defense. They will stop that Bills offense that is full of injuries and roll in this game.
Bill 13, Browns 27.
