Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns

Line/total: The Ravens opened up as 9.5-point road favorites against the Browns. But we've now dealing -11 because 85 percent of the action has been on the Ravens. 

We opened the total at 40.5 and we're currently using 39. Sharp money bet this game under 40.5, but since going 39 we've seen more over action as the public is betting it over.

Key Injuries: 

Ravens - Fabian Washington and LB Ray Lewis are both listed as probable. CB Lardarisu Webb, LB Dannell Ellerbe, CB Chris Carr and DT Haloti Ngata are all listed as questionable.
       
Browns - QB Brady Quinn is expected to start. RB Jamal Lewis is probable. P Dave Zastudil, WR Chansi Stuckey, TE Steve Heiden, TE Robert Royal and CB Eric Wright are all questionable.

Comments: The Ravens dominated the Browns back in Week 3. They won 34-3 and were up 27-0 before letting off the gas.

But since that win the Ravens have struggled big time. They've lost four of five games and find themselves in pretty much a must-win situation tonight. 

The Ravens have won and covered their previous three meetings with the Browns, with the total going over in two of those three contests.

The Browns are arguably the worst team in the NFL. They rank dead last in the NFL in both total defense and total offense. This team and organization is in complete disarray.

Prop of the Game: Joe Flacco (Ravens) Will he throw an interception - Yes -145 / No +115

I'm a Bears fan, but I just want to point out that the garbage O and D of the Bears beat the Browns 31-6. No way the Browns keep this close. Just because Quinn will throw less picks doesnt mean he will get a running game going or stop them from going 3 and Out. I am expecting a lot of short fields for the Ravens.

Of course, my biggest hope is the Browns show up and play for like the 1st Q and then the Ravens get pissed, start winning and the Browns quit.

I got lucky tonight. Balt -10.5, Under, Parlay 2nd Half Balt -7 under 17.5, and overall Clev under 14.5. Lost some NCAABB, but still have the 200am game.
