Week 4 Thursday Night Preview:

At Ravens

-12

Cleveland

43.5

The Ravens won ugly on a last-second field goal over New England in a penalty-filled affair that could’ve gone either way. Needless to say, the scab referees had a big hand in the game calling fouls that weren’t while ignoring more flagrant hits that should’ve been flagged. It was just an ugly game to witness. The Browns were semi-competitive with Buffalo, at least for awhile before losing by 10. Despite the short week to prepare, it’s hard to see how the Ravens could falter at home. Sure, there’s always the possibility that this is a trap game but Cleveland is so awful this year and they won’t be pulling any rabbits out of hats. This is a real tough spot for the Browns as Massaquoi will be out of the lineup and he’s one of Weeden’s top targets. The Ravens are currently 4^th in total offense but are surprisingly 27^th in total defense after three weeks. The Ravens ought to have a relatively easy time of things but that jumbo spread is a touch worrisome.

Projected Final Score: Ravens 27, Cleveland 13
