Sportsbook online news say that the Cleveland Browns have named Brady Quinn their starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Cleveland head coach Eric Mangini told Quinn and Derek Anderson his decision on Tuesday and although an official announcement was not made, word leaked out by Wednesday although the odds at the offshore sportsbook did not move. Sportsbook online has the Browns as an underdog in their season opening game against the Vikings. The announcement of Quinn as the starter was not a huge online betting surprise and supposedly both took the news well. “They both took it exactly the way I expected them to take it – as pros, as good teammates,” Mangini said. “It was really not surprising.” Mangini was hoping to keep the news a secret for some unknown reason. It made no sense and now that word has leaked out he should make a formal announcement.
If you think that the Browns quarterback situation wouldn’t get attention in sportsbook online then you might want to reconsider. The Browns versus the Vikings in sportsbook online is going to be the main early game on Fox television this Sunday. That means sportsbook online attention will be on Brady Quinn as he goes up against Brett Favre and the Vikings in sportsbook online action. The Browns are not getting any respect at the offshore sportsbook.
The Vikings started as a 3-point favorite at the offshore sportsbook in this game but that number has reached four in many locales. The Vikings with Adrian Peterson and Favre are expected to have a great season in sportsbook online results. NFL betting gamblers have flocked to the Vikings because of Favre. They have shied away from the Browns, in part because of their quarterback situation and because they are trying to rebuild their team after what was a horrible 2008 season. That doesn’t mean the Browns can’t win or cover this sportsbook online number on Sunday though. They are at home and the Vikings are no guarantee in sportsbook online results. Anytime a team is coached by Brad Childress they are a risky NFL betting wager.
Popular teams with the public don’t always do well in sportsbook online action. The Vikings are one of the most popular choices at sportsbook online sites this week which makes them a little risky for NFL betting gamblers at the offshore sportsbook.
