Browns vs Ravens Prediction

The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked really good lately with their 7-2 record overall as they have been blowing out a lot more teams in their wins lately. The Browns have also looked good this season with their 5-3 record overall and they also have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Unfortunately for the Browns though, the Ravens also have one of the best defenses in the NFL with the way they have been playing lately so the Browns don't even have much of an edge on that side of the ball and the Ravens offense has been a lot more explosive with the points they have been putting up. The Browns have also been dealing with an injury to Watson, he did play in their game last week but he has still missed some time this year and the offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders with him leading the charge. The Ravens are clearly on a mission this season now that they have Jackson under contract and they are looking to prove that they are one of the best teams in the NFL. The Ravens will keep up the way they have been playing on both offense and defense to win this game at home in another blowout. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“This is what I’ve been preparing and training very, very hard to get back to. Just to get out there and play free and be able to be very close to myself and just go out there and compete and have fun with my teammates. That’s what today brought.” - Deshaun Watson after their win against the Cardinals in their last game.


“When I'm on the sideline just looking at everybody else, seeing how they play, seeing the O-line was just giving us the holes that we needed and opportunities. When I came in, I just took advantage.” - Keaton Mitchell after their win against the Seahawks in their last game.
