tsylvester Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 This may be the hardest one to predict, for me atleast. Which Lamar shows up? Which Mayfield shows up? Does the defensive back 7 play better together? It's at home, one would think the Ravens win, pt spread was 7 now it's 5.5, I'll take the Ravens by 4, 24-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It is indeed a tough call. A very tough call. A lot will depend on the Ravens either being or not being really fired up. It's a big game. I just finished watching the whole Chief's game again. I feel better about our offense. Lamar overthrew a few receivers especially in the first half. He definitely had an off, but not terrible day. The running attack was superb and as I said before we should have used it both for moving the ball and keeping the hard charging KC offense off the field. Cleveland's defense will be much tougher than KC's. The Browns are loaded on offense but you wouldn't know it from the first 3 games of the season. Let's hope they don't gel suddenly for this week. And as Tsyl so aptly put it: Which Lamar and which Baker show up? Going out on a weak limb I'll join Tsyl and say Ravens 24 Browns 20.

vmax Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The game last year was on the verge of being a blowout until Lamar fumbled at the goal line. But the Ravens had a D. Not so this year due to key injuries and the failure to get the personnel necessary to generate a pass rush.I think the game Sunday will be similar. No blow out due to freak plays or turnovers. Both teams will battle their ass off. A close game and a Ravens win. Insiders predict: Baltimore Ravens- Favored to win: Baltimore Ravens- Spread: -7- Odds: -300- Cleveland Browns team stats:- Offense: 330.3 yards per game (#24 in the league)--- Passing offense: 241.3 ypg (#18)--- Rushing offense: 89.0 ypg (#25)- Defense: 315.3 yards per game (#10 in the league)--- Passing defense: 213.3 ypg (#10)--- Rushing defense: 102 ypg (#14)- Baltimore Ravens team stats:- Offense: 511.7 yards per game (#1 in the league)--- Passing offense: 295.0 ypg (#7)--- Rushing offense: 216.7 ypg (#1)- Defense: 350.7 yards per game (#16 in the league)--- Passing defense: 290.3 ypg (#27)--- Rushing defense: 60.3 ypg (#3) "Who will find ways to win and who will find ways to lose?"

OneManCypher Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Browns secondary is all kinds of banged up, both starting corners and a safety probably won’t play, this might get ugly. 34-17 RAVENS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Here's some numbers that say the Ravens are getting pressure on QB's.... Stat to know: The Ravens have blitzed on 47% of opposing QB dropbacks this season, the highest mark in the NFL. And they boast the NFL's fourth-best pass rush win rate, beating blocks within 2.5 seconds 58% of the time, per NFL Next Gen Stats research.....https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27691599/week-4-nfl-game-picks-schedule-guide-fantasy-football-tips-more#clebal So they are beating blocks........The problem is they are not generating sacks. This is going to be a high scoring game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Very tough to call - either team is capable of winning. Lamar is having a good year; Mayfield is overdue for a breakout game.Both secondaries are beat up; could easily be decided in final possession - just like both games last year.Its a coin toss !

tsylvester Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If I hear one more person say Earl Thomas, Tony Jefferson are good, I will smack them. If I hear one more person say this defense is good, I will puke on them. 1st and 25 is no worry for offenses when facing this defense, just group 3 receivers together, hit the one they leave wide open. I am 53 years old, I've never seen so many receivers wide open, never. This defense stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Really? You dodge a blitzer, then stop a yard from him to try and throw? This looks like it is going to be a very long day for Ravens fans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hey whatya know, they can catch one thrown right to them, them....Now can the offense do anything with the ball other than run a few plays & punt?
