Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns: Prediction, odds, picks

Having taken four straight, the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) will face the Cleveland Browns (5-3). The Ravens are the favorites, expected to win by at least a field goal but less than a touchdown (currently -6). 

The Ravens scored a 37-3 win against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, while the Browns defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-0. The Ravens beat the Browns 28-3 in their first meeting. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup between the Browns and Ravens — the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and an expert pick from Geoff Schwartz. 

Ravens vs. Browns Prediction & Pick

• Pick ATS: Baltimore (-6) 
• Pick OU: Over (38.5) 
• Prediction: Baltimore 25 – Cleveland 15

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz 

This number is just too high for a division game with a Browns defense that’s outstanding. 

I understand the Ravens are playing some excellent football and deserve the praise they have received, but if Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson can play to his potential, which again is a question mark right now, the Browns can easily win this game. 

With a low total of 38, the Browns having a defense and the ability to run the ball, I have to take the Browns at this number. I would expect this to close lower than six.

PICK: Ravens (-6) to win by more than 6 points
