Cleveland (+5.5) at Baltimore (12-30-18)

[oldunclemark]

4:25 p.m. EST (probably the first time a game between Cleveland and Baltimore has ever started at 4:25) (Jim Nantz, Tony (Please shut up sometimes) Romo and Tracy Wolfson..  Low 40s and sunny at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore..Over-under 41.

 

Browns rookie Baker (the new Punky QB) Mayfield (287 of 444, 3,349 yards, 24 TDs, 11 INTs) will try to get the ball to WR Jarvis Landry (76 catches, 874 yards) and RB Nick Chubb (183 carries, 972 yards) against a Baltimore defense which has allowed 97 points in the last six Ravens' games.

 Baltimore has 41 QB sacks but just nine interceptions.....Those numbers don't make sense, to be honest

 

Ravens' rookie old school running QB Lamar Jackson (127 carries, 605 yards)  will try to control the ball. The Ravens average almost 33 minutes of time possession per game. Lamar doesnt have great receivers but since he doesnt throw much, it doesnt matter.

The Browns have 36 QB sacks but, again, like San Diego found out last week, you cant sack a QB who doenst throw much.

Baltimore only allows 280 yards and 15 first downs a game,. they now how to make the game ugly.

 

Baltimore (9-6) wins the AFC North with a win but if they lose, Pittsburgh (8-6-1) wins the division with a win over Cincinnatti.

Both games have been dropped back into the 4:25 EST window so the Steelers and Ravens will know what the other is doing.

 

I don't really  buy Baltimore as a playoff team but if they are, they should take out Cleveland decisively.

Baker's run-around-and-make-a-play style seemingly does not fit against this blitzing defense and the rest of the Browns are about as mighty as Notre Dame in a playoff game.

Unless this winner-take-all-game is too much for Lamar Jackson, Baltimore wins easily.

 

1.) Ravens win.

2.) Ravens cover.

3.) Baker gets into a fight with some Ravens' players.

CB Denzel Ward out for the Browns

Buffalo 42, Miami 17.....6-10 for the Bills...

7-9 for the Dolphins..wow

[#12.]

INT Mayfield.

[oldunclemark]

Ravens get a pick in the first minute

[coltsva]

If either Ravens or Steelers lose we can also get it with a tie. I know it's a remote chance, but this season anything is possible.

[MB-ColtsFan]

The way they were moving it I thought they'd get 7 out of this.  A moral victory for the Browns D, but Baker has to do better protecting the pig if they're going to have a chance.  The run game was working.

[MB-ColtsFan]

That was a nice toss.  Good read by Baker.

7-3 Browns.....door is open for Pitt

Yes it is, but it's better than not getting in with a tie!

[#12.]

7-3, Browns.  

 

Last year, the Ravens got knocked out by the Bengals in the final game.

[coltsva]

Could Ravens lose a win and in game at home 2 years in a row? That would be historic!

That would be funny

[oldunclemark]

10-7 Baltimore..Browns arent handling the wishbone well

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We can’t have the Steelers get in. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

I bet the Browns don't leave the middle wide open any more.  That was too easy.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jackson looked like Vick on that play. Man is he fast!

Wow the Steelers just kind of gave up today. They better be lucky the ravens are going to win.

That's not a TD......Lamar didnt get in.  Refs shouldnt give him that

The Ravens have a Great Defense. It could be greater if they could cover a receiver once in a while. Lol
