Its an AFC North showdown in Baltimore Sunday as the Ravens (0-1) play host to the Cleveland Browns (0-1).
The Ravens somehow lost in Buffalo Sunday night, 41-40. Baltimore led 40-25 with 3:55 left in the fourth quarter but the Ravens scored the final 16 points to secure the win.
Although Lamar Jackson and the Ravens made the playoffs last season despite starting 0-2, they are not looking to have to duplicate the feat in 2025. How difficult is that climb from 0-2 to the playoffs? Since 1990, only 32 teams (11.5%) that started a season 0-2 have made the playoffs.
Joe Flacco and the Browns dominated every facet of the stats sheet against the Bengals but somehow lost 17-16. They outgained Cincy 327-141. They had twice as many first downs (22-11). The Browns also held the ball for nearly 36 of the 60 minutes (35:49). However, Flacco turned the ball over twice, and Cincinnati took advantage cashing in two of their three trips inside the Red Zone.
Lets try to help these teams put the pain of Week 1 in the rearview mirror and take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports): Derrick Henry Under 93.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Derrick Henry had a monster game versus the Bills and almost doubled his pre-game line of 80.5 rushing yards, finishing with 169. This is a sell-high spot going against a divisional opponent who has a stout rush defense. Chase Brown had 43 yards on 21 carries against the Browns and what was more impressive, he led the NFL Week 1 with seven missed tackles forced -- something Henry is pretty good at, With 73, 138, and 20 yards in the last three against the Browns and 6-1 all-time to the Under versus Cleveland, I will go Under 93.5 rushing yards on Henry down to 85.5.
Trysta Krick (@Trysta_Krick): Take the Browns and the Points
The Browns-Ravens rivalry doesn’t carry quite the same bitterness as Browns-Bengals, but history shows Cleveland rarely rolls over when these two meet with meaningful stakes. Outside of that blowout loss last January, the Browns are 4-2 straight up in their last six against Baltimore, with only one game that truly got out of hand.
That’s why this number feels inflated. Baltimore is laying 12.5, a line that looks like a massive overreaction to the heartbreak the Ravens suffered last week against Buffalo. Oddsmakers seem to be pricing in a “pissed-off Ravens” narrative — but historically, Baltimore has struggled to protect big leads, leaving the back door wide open.
There’s no world where I’d feel comfortable laying nearly two touchdowns in this matchup. Cleveland has been too scrappy in these spots, and Baltimore has been too unreliable when asked to put teams away.
Give me the Browns and the points.
