Browns at Ravens: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Ravens 30, Browns 16
Moneyline (?)
The Ravens (-385) are favorites to open the season with a win over their AFC North rivals, the Browns (+300). You cannot risk nearly four times your potential return for the boys from Charm City, nor can you rely on Cleveland to win for a second consecutive season on the road against the Ravens. AVOID.
Against the Spread (?)
The RAVENS (-7.5, -110) have covered just five of their past 16 home games over the previous two regular seasons, but they’re a strong play against Cleveland.
The Browns (+7.5, -110) are just 9-19-1 ATS in the past 29 inside the division, and 5-14-1 ATS in their past 20 regular-season openers. Cleveland also failed to cover in its final six road outings to close out 2019.
Over/Under (?)
UNDER 47.5 (-110) is the way to go in this AFC North battle, cashing in five of the past seven meetings in this series. The Under is also 4-1 in Baltimore’s past five as a home favorite.
