At the begging of the season, I predicted that the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens would split their series this year. I’ll give this one to the home team.

I tweeted out how much better rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield is at home. During his time in college at Oklahoma, he was 19-3 at home. He had 6 games where he threw 80 percent or better, 5 of which came at home.

Fellow DDP writer Joel Cade has pointed out how rookie undrafted left tackle Desmond Harrison has improved each week since being named the starter. This week, he is facing future Hall of Famer in Baltimore edge rusher Terrel Suggs. He is going to have his work cut out for him as this could be his biggest test yet.

I think Baltimore’s 5th ranked rush defense and 5th ranked pass defense will give the Browns a challenge but I like the Browns in this one. Ravens get their revenge at home.

Final Score: Cleveland 23, Baltimore 16

Joel had a simple prediction for the game between the home team Cleveland Browns and the visiting Baltimore Ravens:

There you have it. Pain. Joel predicts pain.

Final Score: Ravens 24, Browns 27
