the money line.
00:03
So from an AFC North divisional duel on Thursday to an AFC North divisional duel on Sunday
00:08
afternoon in Cleveland, the Browns host the Steelers and at this moment, Cleveland remains
00:15
a favorite laying a point and a half minus one 22 or so on the money line updated on
00:21
this Friday morning DRS as the Browns get ready to host the Steelers.
00:25
But of course, we have seen a tremendous amount of movement in this game.
00:29
The injuries in the AFC North Donnie, specifically at the quarterback spot, going to be the story
00:34
here in week number 11.
00:36
Joe Burrow last night, the news from Deshaun Watson earlier this week, a broken bone in
00:41
his right throwing shoulder.
00:43
He is now sidelined for the remainder of 2023.
00:46
After Watson was put on the IR, the line worked to two and a half in favor of the Browns,
00:52
then dropped by a full point again once it wasn't PJ Walker named the starter for Cleveland,
00:58
but the rookie quarterback, Donnie, the fifth round draft pick out of UCLA this past April,
01:02
Dorian Thompson Robinson.
01:04
Now just a point and a half spread in favor of the Browns and Donnie, that total screaming
01:09
down that's an Iowa Minnesota number brother, 32 and a half the over under on Sunday in
01:14
Cleveland.
01:15
Yeah, we had a nice segment yesterday here when we were going over and talking about,
01:19
you know, what made sense, what made didn't make sense here with the starting quarterbacks.
01:23
However, when you're lining this game up, I don't understand this because if I'm being
01:27
honest, PJ Walker was two and one as the starting quarterback here for the Cleveland Browns
01:32
lost a close game on the road.
01:33
I know a late interception there to the Seattle Seahawks, but having said that, he still had
01:37
a winning record here and was playing decent football.
01:40
The fact that you're going to the young rookie here doesn't make any sense to me.
01:43
You still have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.
01:44
No, I do.
01:45
I think PJ Walker starts or DTR starts.
01:47
Does it matter?
01:48
And they win a Super Bowl.
01:49
No, I don't.
01:50
If they make it in the playoffs, they're out round number one, but that's not the point
01:52
here.
01:53
You still have to get to the playoffs and keep that success going.
01:55
You have a very good defense.
01:56
You have playmakers that are stepping up on offense here.
01:59
The only time I saw DTR play, he was terrible against the Ravens.
02:02
I get it.
02:03
He started a football game where he basically was called in at 11 a.m.
02:06
Hey, by the way, Deshaun doesn't want to play.
02:08
Do you want to play today?
02:09
Sure.
02:10
I'll go in there and play.
02:11
He was a disaster against the Baltimore Ravens.
02:12
He's going to have a full week of practice here knowing he's the starter.
02:15
That's going to help.
02:16
But why do we go to him so quickly?
02:18
Like why isn't this, hey, let's give PJ Walker a shot this weekend.
02:21
If he looks bad, sure.
02:22
We'll just go to the bench and the rookie will play the rest of the way.
02:24
If you play the rookie in this game and he plays terribly against the Pittsburgh Steelers
02:28
and you lose that game, do you just ride him out?
02:31
Do you go back to PJ Walker and admit that you made a mistake at this point?
02:34
I'm just shocked by this.
02:35
This is a winnable football game and PJ Walker has won football games this season for your
02:40
franchise.
02:41
I was shocked when I heard it here and I thought it was a mistake.
02:43
Like, oh, that just must be the sports books just putting in like a marker because that
02:47
one quarterback started before.
02:48
They just weren't going to put a TBD in there.
02:50
But when I found out DTR was going to be the starter, I was surprised and not pleasantly
02:54
surprised.
