Ravens vs. Browns Point Spread

“Those are all decisions we’ll just wait and see where he is with it, but that’s something that’s a decision we’ll have to make between now and game time”. Their last game was a 30-9 blowout at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10.

McCown is looking for a sweep of the Ravens following a 33-30 overtime win October 1.

When the Ravens traveled to San Francisco to play the 49ers back on Week 5, talk centered around how both underperforming teams looked drastically different from their Super Bowl XLVII squads back in 2013. “We are going to continue to support him in every way possible, but at this point, we’ve decided it’s best to go with Josh as the starter going forward”. To have 3.5 or 4 points means that the Ravens will likely need a touchdown difference to beat the spread, the upper end of their point differentials this season. The Browns defense gave up 181 rushing yards in the first meeting this year. If the Browns can commit themselves to running the ball it will make situations more manageable for the passing game. With Joe Flacco out, the starting quarterback for the Ravens will now be Matt Schaub. If the Ravens are forced to rely heavily on the arm of Schaub, they will lose. “Obviously, Josh has played a lot of football for us this year”, DeFilippo said.

The Week 12 matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns features two of the worst teams in the National Football League going head-to-head.

The Browns have been good at limiting tight ends from a yardage standpoint but have been vulnerable in the red zone.

N.Y. Giants (-3) over WASHINGTON – The Giants have won five in a row in this rivalry, and the last four have been romps.

Oakland (-1) over TENNESSEE – It’s tough to lay points with the Raiders, whose record east of the MS has been abysmal over the years.

This is their first appearance in seven years, and Cleveland players are relishing it. The duo of William and Jernigan has been a huge defensive wall for the Ravens. Shortly afterwards the Browns Manziel to the third string. However, it will not be easy as Baltimore has several key players dealing with injuries.

The Ravens have been decimated by injuries, but mostly on the offensive side. However, despite saying he had learned from his past mistakes, Manziel, who spent 70 days during the offseason in a rehab facility specializing in alcohol and drug treatment, has not shown the maturity the Browns are looking for from their quarterback. All three players have question marks, while there are six games for any of the three to prove they are “the guy”, the bodies of work for all three players leaves little confidence any quarterback on the Browns roster will step up.

During the Ravens’ slump, Upshaw’s play had come under public criticism, leaving Harbaugh especially happy about the former Eufaula High School standout’s big play.

Another was added to the list when leading rusher Justin Forsett fractured his right forearm against St. Louis. Schaub is part of a skill position trio that will include rookie Buck Allen at running back and TE Crockett Gillmore. In his last two games, he’s been targeted 19 times and is the only Browns wide receiver to catch a touchdown pass since Week 3.

Despite all of this, this is a divisional rivalry between two hated franchises that would love nothing more than to inflict more misery onto the other’s already miserable season. Despite Baltimore’s problems, the Ravens still have more in the tank than their hosts as they continue to play in close games week after week.
