AFC North battle: Browns versus Ravens
The Ravens have a chance to make up ground on the Browns in the AFC North Sunday when the teams take the gridiron at M & T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens play into revenge Sunday, after handing Cleveland a 27-13 defeat in the last meeting back on November 7, 2004.
While the Ravens opened as 4-point favorites, defence is likely to play a big role in this contest. The total opened at a low 33, an indication that the experts don't see a lot of scoring Sunday. Baltimore is 1-3 ATS on the year, while the roadies are 3-1.
The Browns come off a 20-10 win against Chicago, a game where they were a 3-point favorite. The game went under the closing total of 35.
Brian Billick's troops were at Detroit last game and came away with a 35-17 loss, a game that went over 32.5. Oddsmakers had them as 1-point underdogs in that one.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Baltimore. Saddled with the 31st-ranked offence and averaging just 11.8 PPG, the Ravens' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Sunday in order to have a chance against the Browns.
