6 of 8 going into The Night Game. My San Diego wager wasn't a major loss as it was a small one made mainly because of the +250. Should have won that one. That game was decided by the Zebras in the second from my view.
The Cleveland Browns (3-11) at The Miami Dolphins (3-11)

There is absolutely nothing riding on this game except dignity.
The Browns are a very bad team. Injury plagued on both sides of the ball from the beginning of the season and poor coaching has gotten them right where they deserve to be. Tied for dead last in the AFC.
Miami has been hit even worse in the injury/lost players column. They only real difference is that Wannstedt was a better coach than the Brown's Butch Davis. Dolphins are at least coming off a big win against the AFC East Title holding New England Patriots.
The Browns, on the other hand were handed their hats yet again. Last week by the Chargers.
Miami has kept the last several games, even their losses, relatively close. The Browns have not. Losing their last 4 by an average margin of 22 points.
Both Miami and Cleveland have terrible offenses, but the Dolphins O has at least shown some sparks of life. Plus they do have a decent D, at least against the passing game.
This is where dignity comes into play.
The players on the Dolphins team do not want to finish the season in last place. They have the harder of the two teams finishing schedules. They will be heading to Baltimore, they know that this is their best shot at getting win #4.
Cleveland is in complete disarray, and even if they really care about a fourth win, getting their “poop in a group” enough to beat Miami at home is along shot.
So, just for fun and since I have enough wiggle room to accept a small loss I'm going to do the unthinkable and lay a little action off on Miami's side.
