ESPN's Match-up Predictor gives the Ravens a 69.9% chance of winning. 

 

The Ravens are a 6 point favorite.

 

The Over / Under is 38.5.

 

Baltimore won 28-3 at Cleveland earlier this year.

Hoping for another beatdown. It would really be nice to totally dominate Cleveland for the season series. 

 

Ravens 30

Browns 10

[Mike in STL]

Browns are 5-3, getting some wins without Watson at QB. I've been predicting narrow victories, and the Ravens have been putting up blowouts. I might as well keep that going. 

 

Ravens 20 - Browns 19

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Watson kinda sucks now so who knows. As is the case every week, my biggest fear is ball security. If we handle that we can cover. As it stands now Id take Cle and the under

Ravens-16
Cle-13

[Mike B]

I think the Ravens are the better team and it may not be close.  

Ravens 27 Browns 13.  

 

Keep stacking wins Ravens!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Balt Sun: Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Pierce only Ravens missing from Wednesday practice; several Browns starters sidelined

[Pedro Cerrano]

Got a bad feeling about this one:

 

Cle:  17

Bal:  13

[Ravens2006]

The Ravens are the better roster, as they are in most games.  Win the turnover battle, take points, play field position when called for, and they win.  Give it away and/or play stupid, anything can happen.

[85Knight]

The Ravens are firing on all cylinders. This one won't be close. Ravens win 30-13.

Ravens 27 Browns 13.

Keep stacking wins Ravens!

I predicted 31-17 Ravens.

There's a small part of me that thinks this game has to be close because it's a division game and the defenses are so good. However, when you look at Cleveland's season so far, their defense really built their stats on about 3 1/2 games...vs Cincy with Burrow on 1 leg, vs the Titans and corpse of Ryan Tannehill, vs the Cards and that turd Clayton Tune and then vs the 49ers when CMC got hurt. In the Browns' 4 other games, the Colts posted 38 and should've won, the Steelers had their season high of 26 points, the Seahawks put up 24 and then we rolled them.

It seems like the talking heads are quick to point out that the Ravens have played mostly below average QBs but that never seems to come up when the Browns defense is discussed. However, when looking at their schedule thus far, how can that not get mentioned? Of course you don't apologize for who's on your schedule but it's weird to me how things like that get applied selectively.

Anyway, the only way I see a close game coming to fruition is if we're like minus 2 in the turnover column.

The Steelers had two defensive touchdowns to score those 26 points, so that's not a great example, but the others hold.  I think if the Ravens get to 20 they win the game.

I think you could say the same about Cleveland as far as QBs go, but then that might apply to the whole league.  There are only a few good QBs in the league......the rest are pretty mediocre.  With the exception of Jalen Hurts, all of the better than mediocre QBs are in the AFC.   If you haven't played Buffalo, Miami, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, KC or the LA Chargers, you have played only mediocre QBs.  Maybe I should include Dallas in there, but too often I see Dak Prescott throw bad ints in critical parts of the game.  And I did purposely leave Houston out because while Stroud has looked really good, he still is only a rookie prone to rookie mistakes.  And I gave Trevor Lawrence the benefit of the doubt because he does have his team at 6-2 and I consider him more than a game manager.

Ah ok. I just glanced at the final for the Steelers game. Thanks for straightening me out.

[hallas]

21-10 birds

[russsnyder]

I think the Ravens take this one 24-16.

[cprenegade]

Cleveland needs this game badly.  It should be a playoff game for them.  If they win they go to 6-3 with the Ravens at 7-3.  Lose and they are 5-4 with the Ravens at 8-2 and a season sweep of the division series.  They will be effectively 3 games behind with 7 to play.  No chance at the division if they lose.  Still a shot at the wild card, but the AFC is tough, no guarantee at that.

 

I think Cleveland's defense is good enough to match the Ravens D in the game.  Offensively, no.  If they had Chubb, I would be a little more worried about their offense.  Half of their starting offensive line is out for tomorrow.  And while it won't be as bad as the first time they played with a rookie QB being a deer in the headlights, I have never been a huge fan of Watson.  I thought he was way over-rated when he was drafted and before his off field problems.  Always thought he was a flash highlight guy with little substance to back it up.  I don't think he will be around at the end of the game because he can't take the contact and the Ravens will bring it.  

 

Cleveland's defense keeps it close but can't over come their lack of offense......Ravens 31  Browns  16.

[PrimeTime]

I'm heading to The Bank today for the first time since 2019. The last game I attended was vs the Texans; still quarterbacked by Deshaun Watson at the time. Kinda weird.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hamilton. TD Ravens!

[BaltBird 24]

What a start!

[Mackus]

Woah. That's a fun way to start fast.
