The Baltimore Ravens travel to FirstEnergy Stadium to face off against the Cleveland Browns in a critical AFC North clash on Sunday afternoon.
The Ravens are coming off of a loss to the Steelers in which they elected to go for two points to win it in regulation. Lamar Jackson’s potential game winning 2 point score came out of Mark Evans hands as the Steelers picked up the win.
Lamar Jackson hasn’t played his best football in the last few games as he has an interception in each of his last four games. Lamar Jackson has 2,865 passing yards this season for 16 touchdowns on 13 interceptions for the Ravens. He has a QBR of 50.5.
The Ravens offense averages 387.9 yards a game which is 5th in the league. They are scoring 23.5 points per game as they give up 356.7 yards and 21.7 points per game to their opponents.
Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt might be the best running back tandem in the league as they are the center of this Browns offense with Mayfield struggling and Odell Beckham in Los Angeles. They are coming off of a loss to these same Ravens just two weeks ago.
Mayfield has been tough for the Browns as he continues to play through injuries. Baker Mayfield has 2,413 passing yards this season for 11 touchdowns on 6 interceptions for the Browns. He has a QBR of 38.1.
The Browns offense averages 354.1 yards a game which is 17th in the league. They are scoring 21.2 points per game as they give up 315 yards and 22.3 points per game to their opponents.
The Browns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
The Ravens are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 meetings in Cleveland and the favorite is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. The Ravens are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games in December and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. The Ravens should be able to bounce back after embarrassing themselves against Pittsburgh last week.
