In the two games this year the Ravens have allowed 6 points. We know Oak and Tampa are having issues but is Clev any better than these two teams? How are they going to move the chains against this defense?

Anyone take a look at the injuries for Clevland?

Lets take a look.

Defense: Clev yards per game 403.5 (30th)
Balt yards per game 152 (1st)

Rushing: Clev 71 ypg (26th)
Balt 125 ypg (9th)

The Ravens held Tampa to 22 yards rushing. Clevland better figure out how they are gonna run the ball this sunday. If they don't, pressure on the QB all day folks. Similar to what happened to Simms week 1. No wonder all the money went on Balt this week.

When this opened at -4 money poured in. Overnight lines and early money are almost always considered sharp plays. This sharpened up the line to -6.5. If the line was moved by a greater amount the book could be exposed to being middled. No book wants this, it's very costly. It doesn't matter if 87% of the public picks one side, -6, -6 1/2 is the correct line. The sharp plays are in at -4. Thoughts or comments?

Do you guys ever just look at the teams? Spare me all the numbers. Vegas was built on suckers going with numbers. I'm the biggest browns fan you will find and the browns have no chance in this game. Baltimore will win by 17+.

Bears win as well.

Goo luck!

Ladies and Gents....

How can Clev even score 14 points against a Ravens team which is built as a tank on defense. I think Clev might get a TD and/or a field goal but 14 points is still a stretch. McNair did have some challenges last week against a poor Oakland team which did look OK on defense and considering the Ravens did take away the ball on defense a few times early in the game... they could/should have blown away oakland earlier but instead ended up with 3 field goals...

Ravens are geared up to make a run and a believe Clevland will just be another bump in the road. They should be able to handle the 7 points IMO.

I totally agree...Browns stats for the 1st two games are atrocious! I can't see them hanging around too long. 1st division game for Balt, and with pitt & cincy to contend with they should have plenty of motivation to take this game!!

That just about explains it I think. I don't care about the line movements... IMO I just dont see the Browns moving the ball PERIOD.

My brother in the honest world everythin you say is dead on but in my opinoin this isnt and honest word. Take Cleveland this week. This game to me smells just like the philly game two years ago when everyone thought philly would cream cleve and they only won by three.
