Nationally televised on CBS 4:25 EST.
Preview:
The Ravens control their own destiny for winning the NFC North behind the best defense in the NFL at home and an offense that tries to control the clock. After the Browns comfortably handled the Ravens at the start of their reboot, the Ravens have found a new energy behind Lamar Jackson.
Lamar Jackson starts many plays with read option action, which causes defenders to read and react from the snap rather than attack. Jackson is running with the football an insane early 20th century 16+ carries a game. His rushes and threat to rush stretch the defenders wider along the line of scrimmage. His running backs, while not overly talented, have been taking advantage of less eyes on them when they get a handoff. Jackson's biggest weakness continues to be correctly feeling out the pocket while keeping his eyes upfield. He likes to drop crossing routes right in front of him when a play breaks down or slither through the second line of defense for extra yards. He hit a huge pass down field to Mark Andrews, but other than that his accuracy outside the numbers has been questionable.
Ravens started the week as seven point favorites at home with a division title on the line. As of today, the line has moved to between five and 5 1/2 points. The big money has been going towards the Browns all week long.
Prediction: Browns crush their hopes and dreams because fuck the Modell family.
Browns 24 - Ravens 17.
