Where Can Stream?
Why Bet the Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns host the Baltimore Ravens in their final home game of the season.
Though Cleveland’s playoff hopes are all but dead, they could put a damper on Baltimore’s postseason ambitions with a win over their rivals.
A rivalry built in 1996 when the then-Browns packed up and moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens.
There will be no love lost in this matchup, as both teams will come in with nothing but getting a win on their mind.
Why Bet the Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Defense came through with flying colors holding the Steelers to 65 yards on the ground and intercepting Trubisky 3 times which is great for any defense, but especially for this Ravens defense which has been struggling against the pass this year, and is currently ranked 26th in the league in pass yards allowed.
While it was already known Lamar Jackson likely wouldn’t play, the Ravens could be down to their third-string quarterback with Tyler Huntley in concussion protocol.
Final Betting Analysis: Browns vs. Ravens
At 5-8, the Cleveland Browns need a miracle to make the postseason. They currently have a 0.4 percent shot at making the playoffs, which isn’t very good.
However, they suddenly have a much better shot at securing a win in their upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
While the Baltimore defense will surely make life hard on Cleveland, their offense poses little threat to the Browns. Huntley would be better, but still not as dangerous as Jackson. As long as the league MVP isn’t suiting up, the Browns should win their final home game of the season.
