Garrett Bush of The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show and Locked On Browns Podcast joins Kevin Oestreicher of The Locked On Ravens to Preview The NFL Week 7 Matchup between the Browns vs. Ravens. Will Jacoby Brissett Rebound Against The Ravens? 

 The Cleveland Browns visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7 of the 2022 NFL Season. The Cleveland Browns just lost to the New England Patriots in a game that was closer than the final score indicated. The Ravens just lost another game when they lead in the fourth quarter with the Giants coming back to win. This should be an interesting game with both teams needing to rebound. Let’s take a look at the odds and make some picks and predictions for this game! In this video, we preview the Browns vs. Ravens game and ask the question: will Jacoby Brissett rebound against the Ravens?

On today's Locked On Browns podcast, we discuss the Browns vs. Ravens game and ask the question: will Jacoby Brissett rebound against the Ravens? Many Browns fans are wondering if Brissett can succeed against a Ravens defense that has traditionally been very stingy against the Browns. Tune in to find out!

The Baltimore Ravens are 6.5-point home favorites and are also at -280 on the money line. The over/under is also at 46.5. Baltimore being the favorites here and by that much makes a lot of sense because they have all the talent of a very good team, but just haven’t been able to close out the games that they’ve lost. The over/under also makes sense because the Ravens have a very good offense and Cleveland can score as well, but they’re just inconsistent. This spread could move, but it seems like it’ll stay around this number.

Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction

The pick: Baltimore -6.5

The Cleveland Browns seem like they might be reeling and on a downward spiral. Baltimore has proven to collapse in the second half of games, but it seems like the Browns might be struggling way more. The Browns have one of the best running games in the league, with them averaging 172 yards on the ground, but for whatever reason they have gone away from that dominant running attack in recent weeks. The biggest example of this was last week when the Browns just had 70 yards on the ground. The tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt is one of the best in the whole league and for the Browns to have any chance in this game they need to establish the run and not rely on Jacoby Brissett as the bulk of their offense.

The Baltimore Ravens have been a team that’s had a roller coaster of a season up to this point. The games they’ve lost were lost in the second half after each team came back in the fourth quarter. The key for the Ravens in this game is what their defense can do because they have not been great this year, especially against the pass. The biggest difference here might be the fact that the Ravens have Lamar Jackson and the Browns don’t. That’s reason enough to like this bet too.
