Look for this to be a hard fought 3 point win for the Ravens. A divisional rivalry and Cleveland has just enough weapons to move the ball even on this stellar D.
Hope the Browns don't blow my super-bowl futures on the Ravens and win the game...they are playing good football.
This team plays their hearts out for head coach Greg Williams and Baker Mayfield.
I was watching ESPN yesterday when the announcer said Baker Mayfield made a rude gesture to his former head coach and now Bengals' defensive coordinator Hugh Johnson (?) after a TD. The announcer said Mayfield should not have done that to his former head coach, and that made the announcer leave Mayfield out of a list of outstanding quarterbacks. Karma may catch up to Mayfield in Baltimore, and he may make some errant throws or referees may help the Ravens win big.
great season DK. I followed you the first week with Baltimore and that was a Huge win. So go get em on the last week. In my pool I’m going with either Seattle I’ve Arizona or Philadelphia over Washington. Was wondering what your thoughts are on these games. Remember no spread on by points won or lost. Good luck this week my friend
Aloha

Vikes could beat the bears, but CHI still has something to play for, so it won't be an easy task. Should be a great game.
Cards have nothing to play for, and Seattle can clinch the #5 seed with a W; however, they can lose the #5 seed with a loss and a Vikings win. Seattle would be wise to want to play in Dallas rather than in Chicago on wild card weekend.
Baker Mayfield turned this franchise around. End of story. The minute he came into the 3rd game against the Jets the whole mood changed in the second half and he engineered a victory. Mayfield is a fiery guy who leads by example. Mike Ditka said that leadership is something that you can't teach a player and Baker inspires this team.
There is something personal in his 'tude towards Hue Jackson...we don't know all of the facts now do we?
Looking at their record this year, the Browns have lost big to many of the better teams but they also gave the Saints fits @ New Orleans (lost 21-18) and they beat the Ravens @ home in OT in early October before the switch to Lamar at QB.
I also feel that interim Head Coach Greg Williams will sell out to stopping the run and try to force Lamar to the air. I expect him to present a game plan extraordinaire as a win here would almost surely win him the Head Coaching job. I get the feeling that Greg Williams is respected and liked by this team and that they will give a supreme effort in order to position him for the permanent job (IMO).
The Cleveland D is better than people think, if we go by points given up they are about in the middle. If we look at the D rankings they are at 29th but for me the true barometer is points allowed. They have given up 24.4 points a game and 23 allowed is in the middle.
The Browns do have some playmakers on D...Jabrill Peppers, Myles Garrett, and Joe Shobert...not sure if the one corner Denzel Ward will play or not (shoulder injury)...
The Browns have a definite edge in turnover differential: +9 compared to Baltimore's lack luster -5.
Cleveland has a run offense of their own and have a better YPR 4.64 to Baltimore's 4.29. Baltimore ranks 3rd in rushing yards allowed per game but the Browns ran for 112 in their first meeting but that was before Chubb took over from Carlos Hyde. Chubb is closing in on a thousand yard season and is a real threat to break it anytime he touches the ball.
This will be a fun game to watch. A lot riding for Baltimore but then again, the Browns are on a roll and if they win, they will have a winning season and I don't expect them to lay down in this one.
I like Cleveland + the points.
