38-17 ravens of course


Ravens will win, obviously. However, I think this will be a little more low scoring than you predicted. I'm going to venture a 27-6 final score. Here's why I think it will be a little more low scoring.

Brandon Weeden is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league with his awful 3 TD to 6 INT ratio, and has no weapons outside of Trent Richardson. Even though the Ravens won last week, I expect their defense to come out with a lot of energy, looking to rebound from allowing 30 points last week.

The Ravens have a pretty decent run defense, which is evident from them only allowing 2.3 YPC last week against New England. With that being said, I don't think Trent Richardson will get much going behind Cleveland's mediocre o-line.

The Browns might be able to drive into field goal range a couple times, but I really doubt that Weeden&Co. will be able to stick it in the endzone against the vaunted Baltimore D.

As for the Ravens not scoring 38, I expect them to score a few times early, and then let of the gas a bit later in the game. It wouldn't surprise me if they're up 2 or 3 possessions to see rookie Bernard Pierce get some run in so he's more comfortable later in the season.


Weeden will have 1 td, and Trent Richardson will find the end zone, but will be held to under 60 yards rushing.

Browns score late to make it a 21 point deficit.


I cannot foresee a team which has the worst receiving corp, arguably the worst quarterback in the league, and practically a 2 man line (Joe Thomas and Alex Mack) being capable of putting up 17 on one of the league's best defenses.

Even though the Ravens defense hasn't been on par compared to previous seasons in terms of yardarge allowed, they have still have been great forcing turnovers (6 through 3 games). If the Browns just give away possessions like that, which they probably will given that Brandon Weeden is their starting quarterback, then they can't expect to score anywhere near 17 points.

If the Browns do turn the ball over on multiple occasions as expected, Baltimore is probably going to have a decent sized lead early, probably causing the Ravens to have a more conservative approach, which will limit the number of scoring opportunities that both the Ravens and the Browns have.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Baltimore gives up a couple big plays to land Cleveland in scoring territory, but I simply can't see Weeden&Co. being able to punch the ball in because Baltimore's defense is simply much more talented and well coached than Cleveland's offense.


They punched it in alright.

T-train aka Trent Richardson got 1 like I predicted.

You said 27-6, and , said 38-17.

Cleveland has 10 points already w/ 4 min left in the 3rd.

Way to fill the readers with bullsh8t.

Weeden's not half bad.


Final was 23-16. I was 14 points off, you were 16 points off.

both teams go a little lower since it'll be a blowout early. i'd say 31-7 ravens.

Ravens 24 over Fake Browns 0 - with the real NFL Refs IMO.

BTW, how much better are the real NFL Refs in making the right call?

fake Browns? that's a long time to hold a grudge

September 27, 2012  11:18 AM ET

ray rice + torrey smith + Ravens D 42 - browns 3

i'm assuming that rice, smith and defense will get at least 2 TD's each, and the Raven's D will want a shutout, but will allow a FG.

so long weeden, we hardly knew ye!

21-14 Ravens.

42? that requires either a shootout or everything to go right. and i really can't see that happening because if it gets bad, i don't think we'll see harbaugh purposely run up the score. itll be a rice heavy diet instead until they pull him too. if it gets real ugly id be looking more at about a 31-0 ravens.

The games hasn't even started yet and the Browns are already down 10-0.

Huh?

I'll take the Browns and some points.

The Ravens have had the Bengals on Monday, the Eagles, and then the Patriots. Now they get the Browns. If there was a moment for a trap game this is it. I'm not saying the Browns will win but I think they'll keep it close.

September 27, 2012  03:42 PM ET

Browns will be lucky to put 10 on the board. I do predict a Ray Lewis getting blown up by Richardson moment at least. Dude needs to retire after this year, hes getting trucked way more than he used to. Gronk dam near killed him the last game.

How about the Browns in a nailbiting victory late in the 4th quarter.

Nieghbor,

It seems everyone but You and I,are giving the Browns a chance of winning,as I'm thinking,will this be a game that ends the momentum of the Ravens.

It has too happen sooner or later,and it is a divisional game.
