The Baltimore Ravens have to be hungry this week, going up against the Cleveland Browns. Not only is this an AFC North rivalry game to heat things up, the Ravens’ playoff hopes very much cling to winning this game. Meanwhile, the Browns are looking to secure their own playoff fate while seriously hurting Baltimore’s. This should be a double chin strap game.
But we here at Ravens Wire are predicting quite the game from the defense this week. Despite some lackluster play at times this season, Baltimore’s defense has shown flashes of what everyone expected: an absolutely dominant unit that can not only shut down opponents but embarrass them. Whether it’s a ton of sacks or interceptions, many of the Ravens Wire contributors believe Baltimore’s defense lives up to that billing this week.
As we say every week, none of us are saying these bold predictions are written in stone or really all that likely to happen. But they’re far more likely than some people might believe and some of us have been right more than a few times. Still, this is a fun exercise meant to bring a little levity, hyperbole, and a touch of homer-ism to a game that people sometimes take far too seriously.
