Ravens vs Browns Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Ravens. I’d like to see Baltimore assert themselves a little more this time, though; the OT win versus Atlanta was a tight one. The Ravens ended up with 24 first downs and 391 total yards (208 rushing) in that one while giving up 17 first downs and 367 yards on the other side. Baltimore has now won three straight games, and they’ve scored 24 or more points in all four of their wins this year (17 in the loss to the Saints).

As for Cleveland, they held the Jets to a modest 276 yards, 14 first downs and 8-of-17 on third down tries in their latest loss. The Browns managed just 13 first downs, 198 yards and 4-of-16 on third downs themselves, though. If Cleveland is going to be competitive here they’ve got to get over that 20-point mark. The Browns have 21 or more points in each of their three wins and 22 combined points in their two losses.
