Cleveland is a 10-point road underdog on the NFL point spreads at M&T Bank Stadium at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. When these teams met in Cleveland in Week 2, Baltimore won 25-20 as a 4.5-point favorite.
Following a close call against the New York Jets in which the Browns lost by just three points, Cleveland had no answers at all for the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday in a 35-10 loss at home — which improved their odds of finishing 0-16 on the season. Four of Cleveland’s last six losses have come by at least 11 points.
The Browns rank 29th in the NFL in scoring offense with 18.7 points per game, and 31st in scoring defense, allowing 30.3 points per game. Cleveland is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games against Baltimore.
The Browns have won just once in their last 20 games. Their record over that stretch is 1-19 SU and 4-15-1 ATS per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Baltimore -10 / 45.5 Points
Trend: The Browns are 5-1 ATS in their last six games on the road against the Ravens.
Trend: The Ravens are 1-7 SU in their last eight games after winning as an underdog.
Baltimore’s bye week in Week 8 couldn’t have come at a better time for the Ravens. The team entered its bye week with an 0-4 SU and ATS record over its last four games, but came out of it with a strong defensive effort in a 21-14 win at home over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With tough road games remaining on the schedule against Dallas, New England, and Pittsburgh, the Ravens need to take advantage of games like this Thursday’s to get back into the playoff hunt. The Ravens are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games at home against teams with losing records.
Thursday night’s total is set at 45.5 points. The UNDER is 4-1 in the last five games between these AFC North rivals.
The Browns have shown effort in their games this season, but they just haven’t had the talent to compete. The Ravens should win this game comfortably with their best effort, but if they take this game lightly, Cleveland could give them a scare.
