**Ravens at Browns** (-2.5, 38.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain
- Start date
Well I'll be damned, line is Browns -2.5? What was the line before Chubb got hurt Browns -6?
Browns defense is good, but I don't we can just assume they will shutdown Lamar. Coming off a bad loss to the Colts, I would say take Ravens ML +118 but buy the half point and give me Ravens +3. I don't think it will matter but a push is way better than a loss.
As for over/under. Lean under. Ravens win 24-13.

Sure seems like all signs are pointing to Watson sitting and DTR getting the start.
FYI - Njoku was added to the injury report on Saturday bc he suffered burns to his face and arm in an accident at home.
Ravens have 5 out, 4 questionable and 1 doubtful.
Funny enough I was going to argue with you but I did some research and I learned today. Article is a few years old but is a good read.
Essentially, at most Nick Chubb could have moved the line by 2 points.
Running backs rarely affect NFL point spreads
One of the biggest stories in the NFL last summer was a contract holdout. As the Dallas Cowboys labored through training camp in the Southern California heat, star running back Ezekiel Elliott lounged on a beach in Mexico and tested his worth.
www.vsin.com
After consulting two other Las Vegas oddsmakers, Andrews assigned point values to the league’s top running backs.
“We had trouble finding many guys who are worth more than a point,” Andrews said.
Only three running backs — Elliott, Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey and Tennessee’s Derrick Henry — are worth two points each to the betting line, Andrews said, and the New York Giants’ Saquon Barkley has a line value of one point. It’s not much, and that’s essentially the entire list of difference-making runners.
Andrews assigned values of a half-point to Cincinnati’s Joe Mixon, Green Bay’s Aaron Jones, Las Vegas’ Josh Jacobs and Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook, but those are insignificant adjustments considering NFL lines move a half-point all the time.
RUNNERS FOR THE MONEY
South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews rates the NFL’s most valuable running backs and their worth to the point spread:
Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys 2 points
Derrick Henry, Titans 2 points
Christian McCaffrey, Panthers 2 points
Saquon Barkey, Giants 1 point
Dalvin Cook, Vikings 1/2 point
Josh Jacobs, Raiders 1/2 point
Aaron Jones, Packers 1/2 point
Joe Mixon, Bengals 1/2 point
Andrews said his numbers are simply starting points and cases can be made that Elliott, Henry and McCaffrey could be worth slightly more than two points to the line in some situations, and Barkley might be worth a little more than a point.

Line moved all the way to Ravens -2.5 but now it's back to Cleveland -2.5. I think Watson is playing.

had this one circled in my calendar as the "game of the season"....
how quickly that seems to have turned sour. So many important injuries on both sides of the ball... And Watson isn't fit to be declared a starter til gametime.... Chubb RIP.
Hope it's still a good one.... But what COULD have been.

Nearly half of Baltimore's projected starters are out. Looks like Cleveland isn't the picture of health, either.
Last week was a big disappointment for the Ravens. They started out on fire. Once Drake fumbled, it seemed like they fell apart.
I haven't watched a Browns game yet this year, but it seems like their defense is nasty. I see a long day for the Ravens.
Cleveland 24, Baltimore 15

Ravens -2 seems like easy money. Should be anyway, unless the fix is in
It is. I called. The fix is in. And they told me The Elves were going to rush for 275 yards today also.

Gonna need 95 carries for that
Watch their qb

What is the over under for passing yds today by Cleveland?
No Chubb
No Watson
Why do I have to be left holding the Amari Pooper bag?

Browns D has got to be feeling like their soul was crushed. How can they possibly play with their usual intensity when the offense has no chance to do anything.

Schwartz better make some adjustments.
Ravens look like they’ve completely figured them out.

70-3 is still a loss just like 14-3
It's gotta be hard not to have a "what's the point" attitude right now. They've given the offense several chances to which 3 and out is the new motto of the offense.

Really? God knows, Baltimore's D has had to try & steal games by themselves over the years. Cleveland's defense looks like they are playing hard to me, but the Ravens are gashing them on the ground.

Playing hard and playing inspired aren't the same thing
