Tornado700 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just look at what happened last Sunday. Browns almost upset highly favored Chiefs in Arrowhead. They are playing impressive football right now, and the game is in Cleveland. Can we beat them for the 12th straight time? Only if we play mistake free football and the offense gets into the game early. Otherwise, another debacle like we just witnessed in Pittsburgh. My pick: Ravens will score early and put up enough points to win. 23 to 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This is a great read.. Since 2002, Baltimore is 10-1 after byes, which is the best mark in the NFL. The Ravens are a perfect 5-0 after byes under coach John Harbaugh and have been impressive in doing so. Baltimore has won all five of those games by double digits, including a 25-15 win at Cleveland last season. Under Harbaugh, the Ravens' average margin of victory following the week-long break has been 16.4 points. A common theme in the Ravens' success after byes has been running back Ray Rice. Since being named the team's featured back in 2009, Rice has produced 91.5 yards rushing in the game following the bye. He has scored two touchdowns in those four games. In last season's win at Cleveland, Rice ran for 98 yards and a touchdown. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/75823/ray-rice-and-ravens-thrive-after-the-bye 31 to 10 ravens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I cringe when I hear about the Ravens perfect record against the browns or perfect post byeweek record during Harbs' tenure. A lot of bad things are happening this season that never or rarely happen under Harbs: Having a losing record after 6 games, losing back to back games, losing to a rookie QB. Still. this is a must win for the Ravens. A loss would be devastating to playoff aspirations and would mean they are going to have to admit some pretty serious shortcomings. I think the Ravens pull away late to win 26-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pick: Ravens will score early and put up enough points to win. 23 to 17. Judging from what I've seen this year and especially from both teams' last game, the Browns are a team of more substance and playing with a greater sense of urgency.We are still playing with a SB hangover, resting on our laurels, and w/ no emerging leadership and direction. I picked the Pack and the Steelers the last two games. I don't see anything that has changed with this team- still a work in progress and figuring out its identity.Browns are playing with more emotion and passion and are at home. My pick. Browns grind it out and win by 6-9 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It all comes down to the big fellas. It's time our OL and DL man up and start bullying other teams instead of consistently being bullied themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Its way past the time for our DL and ESPECIALLY the OL to start bullying the opposition ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool739 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ravens 24-14The Browns have a good defense but who is the qb this week ? Campbell=back up at best, Weeden=backup at best, Hoyer=out for the season.I know, bring back Tim Couch...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubberRaven Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Campbell almost beat KC and is a fairly competent QB...plus they have Gordon, who they didn't have in the first meeting. J. Smith better bring his A game...close game and I hope the Ravens win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm feeling good about a Ravens win. Not a blowout because Cleveland has a good defense and we know D can keep you in a game.As long as the Ravens stay disciplined, don't commit turnovers and penalties, they will grind out a win. If they make Jason Campbell look like a Hall of Famer then....guys and gals,....the seasons over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
