Our article previews this game by giving you our two best bets, as well as our favorite player prop. Additionally, we include the current betting odds.
Ravens vs. Browns betting picks and predictions
Ravens ML (-167)
Our top pick for this game is for the Ravens to win. They enter this game with a record of 4-1, having most recently beaten Atlanta Falcons in Week 5 by a score of 30-23.
The only concern for Baltimore is that they will once again turn to their backup quarterback, Tyler Huntley, as Lamar Jackson is still dealing with an injury.
The good news is that Huntley played well in his Week 5 spot start, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns without turning the ball over.
This alone gives the Ravens an excellent chance to continue their success, even with Jackson sidelined for a second straight week.
As for the Browns, they enter this game with a record of 3-2. After an impressive win over Pittsburgh Steelers a few weeks ago, the Browns resorted to being mediocre in Week 5, as they lost to New York Jets 17-12.
While it is true that the Browns seem to have improved this season, their lack of consistency on a week-to-week basis means that they are not a team to be trusted.
The Ravens, on the other hand, are 3-0 SU on the road this season, therefore, backing the Ravens to win is our best bet.
Over 39.5 total points (-109)
Our second pick for this game looks for this game to go over the total. Though it is early in the season, the Ravens have emerged as one of the topscoring offenses.
Baltimore is averaging 29.2 points per game, while allowing an average of 23.8 points per game. Cleveland, on the other hand, is averaging 18.6 points per game and is allowing an average of 22.4 points per game.
This season, at least 40 points have been scored in all five of the Ravens' games, whereas the Browns have seen at least 40 points scored in three of their five games.
Further the over is 5-0 in the last five meetings between these two teams, so backing over 39.5 total points is our play.
Derrick Henry to score an anytime touchdown (-170)
Our favorite player prop for this game targets Derrick Henry to score a touchdown at any time.
He has been Baltimore's most productive offensive player this season, as he has 476 yards rushing (5th in the NFL) on 113 carries (1st in the NFL).
More importantly, Henry leads the team with eight touchdowns (seven rushing, one receiving), a number that also ranks him 2nd in the NFL.
Through five weeks, Henry has scored at least one touchdown in every game the Ravens have played.
As mentioned, the Ravens are once again set to start their backup quarterback, making it likely that Henry will be heavily involved in the offense.
For that reason, backing Henry to find the end zone at least once is our call.
