Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens is a AFC North rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Baltimore Ravens at 93% to Cleveland Browns's 7%, spread BAL -8. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#32 vs #4), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Cleveland Browns will want to lean on tough defense to attack Baltimore Ravens, whose playoff scars is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Baltimore Ravens's mVP playmaker could punish Cleveland Browns if skill talent goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Kevin Stefanski and John Harbaugh, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Jerry Jeudy (WR) and Lamar Jackson (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Browns get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
