The Baltimore Ravens will be in full control of their destiny when they host the Cleveland Browns Sunday at 4:25 pm EST.
They come into this game as a -6 to -7 point favorite depending on the book. A win they're in but if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose, the Ravens will also make it into the Playoffs.
Cleveland has won five of their last six games. The Ravens have won four of their last five including a pivotal road game against the red hot Chargers last week that helped put them in the driver's seat. But one needs to be careful here as this Ravens team lost to Tampa Bay the week prior.
Did You Know? Browns are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 150 yards passing in their previous game
Few believe the Browns aren't showing up for this one. At 7-7-1 currently, Cleveland can finish the 2018 regular season with a winning record.
An ESPN.com insider said of this one: "This might be the game of the week. I'm interested in how Gregg Williams schemes Lamar Jackson. Baltimore takes little shots, three and four yards at a time, and then in the second half those little shots feel like big ones. Jackson's feet are such a weapon, but every game, there are one or two chances to pick him off. Can Cleveland capitalize on those?"
"I think Baltimore's defense will be too much for Baker (Mayfield)," another insider said, noting that Mayfield struggled for stretches against Houston. "If Cleveland can somehow get ahead and make Baltimore throw, that could be trouble for the Ravens, but if Baltimore can dictate the game and play physical football, it is just hard to beat them."
