Baltimore Ravens (9-4) @ Cleveland Browns (5-8)
Key Injuries: OUT – (BAL) Lamar Jackson
Game Preview:
The long-awaited Cleveland debut of Deshaun Watson is finally here, after going 1-1 on the road against the Bengals and Texans to start his career with the Browns.
This game features 2 elite rushing attacks that rank in the Top 5 in the NFL, with the Ravens 2nd in rushing yards per game (162 YPG), and the Browns not far behind at 5th (150 YPG).
Lamar Jackson is missing from the equation here, but Tyler Huntley has filled in admirably for the NFL’s 2019 MVP, leading the Ravens to wins in both calls to action this season.
With these two teams dominating time of possession (both Top 4 in the NFL) with stellar run games, this is bound to be competitive and over quickly.
This has the feels of another classic AFC North showdown of divisional rivals that will be defined by the work of the big uglies in the trenches.
This game could really go either way, but I’m seeing value on the Ravens here as field goal underdogs, despite being tied for the AFC North lead with the Bengals.
I think Huntley pulls another rabbit out of his hat in Cleveland, as the glorious injection Saturday NFL action rolls on through the holidays.
PICKS: BAL +3 & Under 38.5
