I'm not a fan of Cleveland's skill position players. I regard them as among the weakest in the league. Making matters worse for the Browns is Josh McCown is limited by a sore shoulder. Backup Johnny Manziel has proven to be near worthless disdained so far by many in the Cleveland organization.

The Cardinals rank fourth in total defense. Only seven teams give up fewer points than Arizona, which has limited opponents to 19 points per game.

This is a flat spot for the Cardinals, though. They are traveling on a short week. Their bye is next week. They are playing a bad, non-conference opponent. So focus could be a problem. So could fatigue. This marks Arizona's third road matchup in four weeks.

The Browns' secondary should have back cornerback Joe Haden and free safety Tashaun Gipson. The Cardinals aren't likely to have underrated wide receiver John Brown.

Look for the Cardinals to run more since Cleveland ranks last in run defense. That's going to keep the clocking moving.

Weather could factor, too. The forecast is for heavy winds up to 23 mph.
