The Baltimore Ravens (9-4) meet the Cleveland Browns (5-8) for a Week 15 matchup Saturday. Kickoff at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Ravens vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Ravens scratched out a 16-14 road win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, following up a 10-9 win against the Denver Broncos at home in Week 13. With QB Lamar Jackson sidelined all last week and for most of the game against Denver, the Ravens have won 2 straight ugly contests.
The Browns were dumped 23-10 in Cincinnati last week, splashing cold water on a modest 2-game win streak. The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Cleveland.
Baltimore topped Cleveland 23-20 back in Week 7, but the Browns covered a 6.5-point number as the Under (46.5) connected.

Ravens at Browns picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 19, Ravens 16
Moneyline
The RAVENS (+130) are the underdogs in this road game, which is a bit of a surprise. Take advantage.
QB Tyler Huntley will be making his 2nd straight start with Jackson sidelined. He was knocked out of last week’s game in Pittsburgh due to a concussion, but he has cleared protocol, so rookie QB Anthony Brown will be the backup.
The Browns are moderate favorites despite a losing record overall, and a poor overall history against Baltimore through the years.
Against the spread
If you just can’t trust the RAVENS +3 (-114) to win straight up then surely you have to take Baltimore and the points as this is going to be a close game.
However, I think the Ravens are going to win outright, similar to the last 2 weekends. Baltimore will lean on short to intermediate passes on offense while relying heavily upon its defense.
Over/Under
UNDER 39 (-111) is a very low number, but if the past 2 games are any indication for Baltimore, this is actually much higher than we’ll see.
The weather forecast calls for flurries along Lake Erie, which won’t affect much. However, the winds are forecast to be whipping anywhere from 15-25 mph, so that should limit the vertical game for both sides significantly. Running keeps the clock running and keeps the scores low.
