Pick – Take the Ravens. The Ravens should be able to move the ball on the ground against the Browns. It will be interesting if Ravens start to use tricks again in their offense. The Browns defense gives up 346.5 total yards per game. There is also an “eye gouging” controversy which may fuel the game a little more. But I like the Ravens given the low spread.
