Key Matchups
Brady Quinn Vs Matt Cassel
These two won’t play a snap against each other, both young Quarterbacks trying to prove there worth to both franchises. Brady Quinn has played a lot better in the past few weeks not throwing an interception and Matt Cassel is trying to come off a performance in which he was booed off the field in Kansas City. Whoever controls there bottom of the league offenses better should be able to get the win.  The turnover battle is going to be huge in this AFC showdown.

Eric Wright Vs Dwayne Bowe
Eric Wright has shown a lot of promise in his young NFL career. He was once again have a tough matchup against Bowe who is struggling this year being the Chiefs premier Reciever. Wright needs to early on stop Bowe in getting any confidence with Cassel because if these two get going it could be a long day for the Cleveland Browns.

Browns Linebackers Vs Jamel Charles
The Browns for the second consecutive week have not allowed a 100 yard rusher against them. If the Browns can do that for the third week in a row, that would help them immensely to get there third victory of the year. The Browns defense last week looked like a Super Bowl defense hopefully that wasn’t a flash in the pan and they can produce again this Sunday.

Eric Mangini Vs Todd Haley
Both Coaches are on a very hot seat in there first season as coaches. Both Coaches moves in this game will be watched over with a magnified glass and if there is a major coaching blender they will be sure to hear about it. Mangini has the Browns showing improvement over the past couple weeks and with a win here the Browns shouldn’t have a problem selling out there next game against the Raiders and have a little bit of pressure off of him.

Prediction
Cleveland Browns 20 Kansas City Chiefs 14
