The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked great in their games this season with their 4-1 record overall which has them right at the top of the AFC North. They have been a great road team too with their 2-0 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Browns have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AFC North. They have looked great on their home field too with their 2-0 home record this season. The Browns were on a hot streak after week 1, winning 3 games in a row, but now they have come back down to Earth with a loss in their last one. They are coming off a 17-12 loss to the Jets and their offense looked terrible in that one. The defense has looked good this season and even the offense has looked good at times, but Watson hasn't really been winning games himself either, just doing enough on offense to not put the team in a bad position. The Ravens have been rolling with their new head coach though. They are coming off a 30-23 road win over the Falcons in their last one and they won that game without Lamar Jackson. Jackson should be back for this game though and that will give the Ravens offense an even bigger boost. The Browns are starting to regress from that hot streak while the Ravens have looked like one of the best teams in the NFL this season and will only get better with Lamar Jackson returning. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
