Ravens Enter On Short Prep Week
Going into this Ravens vs Browns matchup on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens will have one day less to prepare than usual. That is a product of the Ravens playing a Monday Night Football game in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, the Ravens are heavy favorites going into this contest, as they have a huge advantage offensively when compared to the Browns. As long as Baltimore doesn’t suffer any major health problems on Monday night against the Buccaneers, they should be able to hold their own in this AFC North division matchup.
QB Injury Situation Key For Browns
The Cleveland Browns dropped to 1-6 with a loss in Week 7 to the Cincinnati Bengals. As if dropping a fifth straight game wasn’t bad enough, the Browns also lost their starting quarterback to an injury, as Deshaun Watson suffered a non-contact injury that appeared to be Achilles related. Whether Watson is somehow able to come back, or the Browns choose between Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Jameis Winston, the offense of the Browns simply needs to be better after they have averaged 15.6 points per game as they near the midway point of their season.
Ravens vs Browns Prediction
Instead of taking a side in this Ravens vs Browns matchup, we are going to look at the total, as there isn’t a ton of value in laying double-digits with a road favorite in a division game. Still, we can’t justify taking the Browns with their quarterback situation being a mess. We will take the under in this game, as Cleveland’s defense should bring their best knowing that their offense won’t do much scoring, while we have seen Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense struggle at times already this year.
