Dolphins vs. Browns: TV Schedule, Radio, Game Time and More

After two tough home games, the 0-2 Miami Dolphins will travel to Ohio to take on the 1-1 Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The Dolphins opened their season with a 38-24 Monday night loss to Tom Brady and the Patriots. The second game against the Texans was much less explosive, but still resulted in a 23-13 loss at the hands of Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and the Houston Texans.

The Browns were upset in their opener with a 27-17 loss to the Bengals, but came back with a 27-19 win in Indianapolis over the Colts in Week 2.

Conventional wisdom says that the Dolphins need this one more. They are the only AFC East team without a win. Actually, the Patriots, Bills, and Jets are all 2-0.

Cleveland is in a division full of 1-1 teams.

Where: Cleveland Browns Stadium. Cleveland, Ohio.

When: Sunday, September 25. 1 p.m. EST

Watch: CBS

Over/Under

41. Actually, this is not a bad spread. The Browns' offense is not on par with New England's and Houston's. I don't anticipate either team putting up huge numbers.

Offensively, Miami has been okay, but I expect their offense to put up a performance closer to Week 2 than Week 1.  

Again, I like 41. But I would go with the under here.

Spread

Browns (-3) according to Sportsbook.com. Three points is standard for the home team. Take Miami here.

They have played two likely playoff teams very well, while Cleveland is only 1-1 against teams that are well on their way to being at the bottom of the league.

Key Injuries

Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas (hamstring) is probable. 

Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis (hamstring) and linebacker Karlos Dansby (groin) are questionable.

Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) is probable.

Fantasy Big Plays

Consider starting Dolphins' QB Chad Henne. He's probably the best quarterback that the Browns have faced this year, and the others have done quite well against him.

Browns' RB Peyton Hillis is coming off a good Week 2 performance against Miami. He gained 94 yards on the ground with two touchdowns. Hillis also caught four passes for 23 yards.

Dolphins' RB Daniel Thomas is available in some ESPN leagues and had a strong showing in Week 2's loss to the Texans. With the rash of injuries to running backs throughout the league, he's a good play.

Keys to Dolphins Win

If the offense runs well, they should win this game. That defense is nowhere near as bad as the statistics would show.

Colt McCoy's a fine quarterback, but he's not at Tom Brady or Matt Schaub's level. Miami has a strong defense that hasn't been given the proper venue to prove it.

Keys to Browns Win

The Browns must get Peyton Hillis going. In Week 1, he was contained and the Browns lost to a team that they should have beaten. In Week 2, he rushed for just under 100 yards with two touchdowns and they won. If he has a good game, Cleveland should win.

Prediction

This one will be close, but I like the Dolphins to contain Hillis and the Browns' offense. The Dolphins played very well in losses to immensely talented teams in New England and Houston.

Even though they're going on the road here, I like them to win.

Dolphins: 20

Browns: 16
