Game: Baltimore Ravens (12-2) at Cleveland Browns (6-8)

Summary: Just before the Cleveland Browns took the field against the Arizona Cardinals, Ian Rapoport said the team is committed to Freddie Kitchens barring an epic collapse. Then the Browns took the field and had that epic collapse.

It was another example of how unprepared the team is under Kitchens as they were beaten in every facet of the game. Now after that loss to a 4-9-1 franchise, they get ready to face the 12-2 Baltimore Ravens.

The good news is the Browns had their best game of the season in Week 4 against these Ravens as they beat them 40-25. The bad news is that the Ravens haven’t lost since that game.

Lamar Jackson is the frontrunner for NFL MVP and has been unstoppable. Cleveland did slow him down in their earlier meeting but without Myles Garrett on defense now due to suspension, that will be much more difficult.

Cleveland has also shown an inability to stick with the ground game, even when it’s working. That means they’re going to continue to air it out against an opportunistic defense.

Look for Marcus Peters to pick off a pass and for Nick Chubb to watch as Baker Mayfield continues to misfire deep to OBJ and Jarvis Landry.
