The Cleveland Browns will face the Baltimore Ravens in an NFL Week 18 game at M&T Bank Stadium on January 4. The Ravens are a significant favorite, with a 17.5-point lead over the Browns in the latest odds.
As of now, the moneyline shows the Ravens as -2000 and the Browns as +1000, while the point total is set at 42 points. According to several sports betting sites, including Sports Betting Dime, ESPN, and Sportsnaut, the Ravens are predicted to win with a high degree of confidence.
The main reason for this prediction is Baltimore’s strong defense, which has allowed an average of 171.2 passing yards per game over the last six weeks. This should give the Ravens a significant advantage in the game.
However, the Browns have shown resilience in their previous games and might still manage to cover the large point spread with just one score. According to Sports Betting Dime, they have a 94.2% chance of winning outright.
The final game for Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski adds an extra layer of motivation for the team, as they seek to make a push for the No. 1 overall pick despite their poor record. Nevertheless, it seems that the Ravens are the clear favorite in this matchup.
