Play on Cleveland -3.5, Washington -3.5 and Texas

Record: 5-10, -4.27

Still angry about Toronto yesterday. Today we have a perfect scenario in Cleveland that lost 0-17 last week against Green Bay and should be highly motivated to turn things around today. They play against last year 0-16 Detroit. I don't care much about the lineups in preseason games as starters don't play very much. Matt Stafford gets the starting QB job for the Lions tonight, he should be motivated, too as he's battling for the starting job. But the Lions team is too bad as a whole. Last week I wanted to take them as they should have shown something after this cruel season. They did as they won by one but didn't cover the spread. So they have their win for now but didn't show major improvement.
As the Browns are the much more motivated team they should win this one easily and I put 4 units on the spread at -3.5 with odds of 1.90 or -111.

Second one will be on Washington that lost even bigger by 0-23 at Buffalo. They also have to prove something tonight and what better opponent could they have to prove their abilities as the reigning champs Steelers. The Steelers themselves won last week in a small rematch of last SuperBowl matchup against Arizona by 20-10. Time to relax a bit now for them and the Redskins should have no problems winning this one.
I'll give them a shot with 3 units at the -3.5 spread and odds of 1.98 or -102.

Last one will be Baseball game between the Tampa Bay Rays and visiting Texas Rangers. Both teams fight for the wild card spot right now and the Rays won yesterdays series opener. Today they go with Matt Garza(7-8, 3.73) who did well over the season but had some suspect outings lately. His ERA is still solid but his WHIP decreased over the last few games. Also, his last start against the Rangers was really bad. Texas sends Tommy Hunter(6-2, 2.64) who also had two lesser starts lately but is still great for the season. His lone start against the Rays was on July 3rd and pitched great then.
So, with Tampa in better form and at home where they are 41-20 they should be the faves here, but surely not that high as Texas owns a good offense, too, and at least an equal pitcher. With odds of 2.63 or +163 I have to go with them by 2 units.
Good Luck
