Browns vs. Ravens Prediction, Picks & Prop Bets – NFL Week 7

The 2-4 Cleveland Browns travel to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the 3-3 Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

This AFC North battle should be a slugfest as both of these teams want to control the line of scrimmage and assert their will on the other teams, especially running the football.

The Ravens lost last week in New York against a surprisingly good Giants team where they were 5 point favorites.

Lamar looked great running the ball but fairly pedestrian throwing it, only throwing for 210 and a costly INT late.

He hasn’t gone over 220 passing yards in 4 straight games, struggles in the 4th quarter closing out games, and that could continue again Sunday.

Lamar Jackson’s passer rating by quarter this season…

The Browns on the other side also dropped a bad one last week at home against the Patriots, who were starting their third string rookie, Bailey Zappe.

Zappe looked great to be fair to him, but the Browns did not look good on defense and their offense struggled most of the game.

Which one of these AFC North foes will put last week’s struggles behind them and rights the ship this week?

PREDICTION

This game feel like a toss up in a lot of ways which is why the line is a bit interesting to me.

I know the Ravens are at home so they get the automatic 3 points there but I think almost a touchdown is too many points.

Nick Chubb had a bit of a down week last week as the Patriots bottled him up.

I think he has a big game here and allows the Browns to keep it close.

They may even steal one away from home.

BEST BET

BROWNS +6.5 (-108)

PROPS

DAVID NJOKU o39.5 REC YARDS (-110)

This is my favorite prop in this game.

Njoku has gone over this line in 4 straight games and has 5+ targets in all of those games.

Jacoby Brissett is looking for him and he is making the most of it.

NICK CHUBB o89.5 RUSH/REC YARDS (-110)

I know he didn’t get his line last week but we go straight back to Chubb.

His line last week was 105.5. I understand the correction but he has gone over 100+ in every game so far except last week.

Don’t put a guy in timeout just because he doesn’t produce one week. More often than not, he will come through for you.
