Despite being three and a half games behind them in the standings, the Cleveland Browns are 2.5-point favorites over the Baltimore Ravens as the books open up. This would seem to indicate the status of Ravens’ quarterback, Lamar Jackson, is in doubt after missing yesterday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On a short week, Vegas believes the Ravens will once again turn to Tyler Huntley against the Browns on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 PM.
Sitting at 5-8 after an ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns will need to win out and they need some other magic to happen in order to sniff the playoffs. That all starts, however, with a win this Saturday over their divisional rival.
