Cleveland vs Baltimore -3 -120 O/U 47
Here is a situation where the line is saying that Baltimore is maybe a point or so better than Cleveland. That maybe so when healthy but we have to understand that Hollywood Brown is highly questionable and Lamar Jackson has had a lot of time off with a nasty flu. The Ravens are also very banged up with CBs Jimmy Smith, Tavon Young and Chris Westry in danger of missing this game. Cleveland on the other hand has finally gotten healthier with RB Kareem Hunt and OT Jack Conklin coming back today. They also have inside linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah back. Now I have Baltimore a -4.5 favorite at home when healthy, but I think that this situation calls for a 1st half play. Cleveland has been embarrassed many times vs the team and Lamar Jackson could start this game out quite rusty. I think Cleveland could very well have the lead in this game by halftime.
Cleveland 1st half +2.5 – 1.5 stars
