Sunday the Indianapolis Colts head to Cleveland to take on the Browns in a game with teams moving in opposite directions. Odds makers are calling the Colts road favorites. NFL betting odds have Indianapolis at -4 with the total set at 45.

It looks like the wheels have come off in Cleveland for the Browns. At 4-7, Cleveland's once promising season is in shambles and their playoff hopes are all but dead.

The Browns will play the rest of the year without starting quarterback Brady Quinn due to a broken right index finger. He had made three starts after winning the job from Dereck Anderson. Quinn tried to play with the injury last Sunday and was replaced after going 8-of-18 for just 94 yards and two interceptions.

"It's frustrating," Quinn said. "I can't begin to tell you. I'm hurting right now because I love to play the game. I wish I could be with my teammates. I feel bad for the fans because I really wanted to be out there and continue to play and continue to grow in this league."

At 7-4, the Colts are a team moving in the other direction. After starting 3-4, Indianapolis has gotten healthy and rattled off four straight wins to get themselves in the middle of the AFC playoff picture. The Colts can complete a November schedule that included come-from-behind victories over New England and Pittsburgh 5-0 with a win against Cleveland.

"To win the games like we have, where they're three-point games and you have to make a play at the end of the game, you just feel good about the way it has transpired," said Colts coach Tony Dungy. "You feel like you're doing the things it takes to win games in December and January. It has been very, very gratifying."

The Colts should be able to handle the Browns. Take the Colts and give the 4 points.
