Cleveland vs Baltimore Preview & Prediction
Spread: Baltimore -12.0
Moneyline: Baltimore (-900)
Total: 45.0
Cleveland Browns: Searching for Redemption
The Browns head into Week 2 with pressure mounting after a tough one-point loss in their opener. Kevin Stefanski’s squad is determined to avoid the franchise’s first 0-2 start under his watch. The defense showed grit last week, allowing only 141 total yards, but turnovers remain a major issue. Cleveland hasn’t forced one in three straight games, a trend they must reverse to keep pace. Tight ends David Njoku and rookie Harold Fannin Jr. are being used heavily in creative sets, giving this offense a unique wrinkle. If Joe Flacco can settle in against his former team, Cleveland has the firepower to cover the number.
Baltimore Ravens: Heavy Favorites at Home
Baltimore comes in favored by 12 points and needs a bounce-back after narrowly dropping their opener. Lamar Jackson continues to be the centerpiece, but the Ravens’ offense struggled to finish drives last week. Injuries remain a concern, with several starters listed as questionable, yet Baltimore’s depth usually shines when playing at M&T Bank Stadium. The defense has been stingy against tight ends historically, but last week exposed some cracks. The Ravens have to sharpen up quickly, as a brutal upcoming schedule (Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Rams) makes this a must-win spot.
Betting Outlook and Prediction
Bovada Oddsmakers have set Baltimore as a heavy favorite, but rivalry games tend to tighten up. Cleveland’s defense has shown it can frustrate elite quarterbacks, and Flacco’s return to Baltimore adds a dramatic storyline. Expect the Ravens to find enough offense late to hold off the Browns, but Cleveland’s fight could make the spread tricky.
