Game: Cleveland Browns (1-2) at Baltimore Ravens (2-1) Summary: It’s kind of early for a do-or-die game, but it sure feels as though the Browns are slowly approaching that must-win territory. Honestly, that’s not the case, which was evidenced by the Indianapolis Colts winning 10 games and making the playoffs despite a 1-5 start in 2018.

However, Cleveland surely doesn’t want to find themselves needed nine wins in the final 10 games to make the playoffs.

Instead, they would like to start righting the ship in their first AFC North game, but that won’t be easy. Baltimore is entering this week on the heels of their first loss which came at the hands of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs — which is nothing to hang your head about if you’re the Ravens.

Week 1 and Week 2 were a completely different story for Baltimore as they cruised to an easy win over the Miami Dolphins before taking their second game by just one touchdown over the Arizona Cardinals.

As for the Browns, they had a lopsided win in Week 2 before falling to the Rams by seven in Week 3. This one should be another close game for these teams but for some reason, it feels to me like this Cleveland offense is about to click ‚— which isn’t good news for Baltimore.

Look for naker Mayfield to get back on track and finally take advantage of Odell Beckham‘s ability to get deep as they steal a win on the road.

Prediction: Cleveland 31, Baltimore 26
