Cleveland is already a chic pick as next years "surprise team" and Im not the least bit impressed by them. Cleveland is not that good and neither is their flash in the pan QB, Quinn will be starting for that team by midseason.

I would rather face the tough competition, its better for the long term success of this team. I would much rather have a sustained run of success than have a flash in the pan 10 win season because of a soft schedule.
You might be right. Cleveland beat 1 really good team last year in seattle. Niners, Bengals, Bills, Ravens, dolphins, jets, and texans. The texans were 8-8 and bills were 7-9. Some great wins there. At least they are capable of beating the crappy teams, which makes them a DECENT team.
