Nate's Pick
I just can’t understand how the Browns are favored here.
Deshaun Watson has been nothing short of terrible after his two-year hiatus from the NFL, and the Browns offense is regressing in a big way.
Don’t be fooled by the defensive touchdowns that Cleveland scored against the Texans in Watson’s debut two weeks ago. He’s generated an average of eight points of offense in each of his two games. Not good. He’s been bad at passing and they seem to have abandoned the run game thinking that their stud will pull things together. Now, nothing on the offensive side of the ball is working.
Even if the Browns do revert back to their run-heavy gameplan, the Ravens are good against the run, so there may not be much room there anyways.
I think Huntley will be fine at QB with Lamar Jackson still injured and we should see a heavy load for Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins. Cleveland ranks 30th in DVOA against the run, so it’s something that the Ravens would be wise to exploit.Â
Ravens catching points against a bad Browns squad in a divisional game? Yes, please.
