The Cleveland Browns opened as 11.5-point road underdogs against the Baltimore Ravens ahead of their Week 2 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is currently 45.5.
The Browns are coming off of a frustrating 17-16 loss in Week 1 to the Bengals. Cleveland dominated in total yards and time of possession, and especially allowed nothing to Cincinnati in the second half. Joe Flacco played one of his sharpest games in a Browns uniform, and the two interceptions credited against
him were really a disservice. Drops by receivers at key moments, coupled with some missed kicks by rookie K Andre Szmyt, were difference makers in a game where Cleveland looked like the better team.
The Ravens (0-1) are coming off of a stunning 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills. For NFL fans, it was as an exciting of a game and comeback as you can ask for. For Baltimore fans, it was a miserable collapse, as they were leading for most of the game, including having a 40-25 lead in the fourth quarter. Several miscues, including a Derrick Henry fumble with a few minutes to go, allowed Buffalo to rally. Even after missing a two-point try, Buffalo’s defense got a stop and set up a game-winning field goal.
Despite each team’s Week 1 losses, the Ravens are still heavy favorites over the Browns, as Flacco returns to face his former team.
The over/under for the game is 45.5.
