Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns Monday Night Football Picks: Two AFC North teams that will try to right the ship will duel in primetime when the Cleveland Browns host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Baltimore (4-4) has lost three of their last four and last week was beaten by Cincinnatti  7-17 as -3 away favorites. Cleveland (1-7) has lost three straight games and looked particulary awful in a 6-30 loss to Chicago as +11.5 away underdogs.
 

Cleveland Browns Offense vs. Baltimore Ravens Defense: The Cleveland Browns #32 offense will take on the Ravens #6 defense. Cleveland will give QB Brady Quinn (409 yds, 1-3 ratio, 62.1 rating) another chance to lead the offense after the experiment with Derek Anderson failed. Quinn does not have much firepower to attack Ravens average secondary with and Baltimore will force them to throw. The Browns will need their solid RB combo of Jamal Lewis and Jerome Harrison to take the pressure of Brady and they could even implement some Wildcat formations with Joshua Cribbs. Baltimore should be able to stifle this offense with their run D that has allowed 3.5 yards per carry against stiff competition and make the Browns one-dimensional. Big advantage Baltimore.

Baltimore Ravens Offense vs. Cleveland Browns Defense: Baltimore’s #9 offense will face Cleveland’s #28 defense. The Baltimore ravens have a balanced offense now with three big playmakers in QB Joe Flacco, RB Ray Rice and WR Derrick Mason. Baltimore might not have to throw the ball too often against a Cleveland run defense that allows 170.5 yards per game. Cleveland does have some solid-play calling with defensive coordinator Rex Ryan but their personnel is limited. One weaknees that Baltimore has displayed is their tendency to get off too slow starts. Advantage Baltimore. The Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns Monday Night Football Picks NFL Betting Total is at 39.0 points.
