Ravens 35, Browns 21 “This is – to pull a phrase from the college ranks – the Ravens’ cupcake game in a six-week start that includes five playoff teams. It also feels similar to Baltimore’s Week 2 loss to Las Vegas last year. And against Miami Week 2 of 2022, another late unraveling. But Joe Flacco can ‘still sling it,’ so he should find ways to put points on the board against what appeared to be a leaky secondary.” |
| Brian Wacker |
|
Ravens 24, Browns 13 “Outside of wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, tight end David Njoku and 41-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco, the Browns simply don’t have enough firepower to keep up with a Baltimore offense that racked up 432 yards against the Bills last week.” |
| Josh Tolentino |
|
Ravens 31, Browns 13 “The Ravens can’t afford to repeat last season’s 0-2 start with four consecutive 2024 playoff opponents looming ahead of the team’s Week 7 bye. This early season date with lowly Cleveland feels like an emphatic bounce-back spot for an apparent AFC heavyweight.” |
| C.J. Doon |
|
Ravens 20, Browns 17 “I’ve got my eye on tight ends Harold Fannin Jr. and David Njoku creating some mismatches with their size and skill, but it will be hard for the Browns to score enough points to steal a win on the road here.” |
| Bennett Conlin |
|
Ravens 35, Browns 17 “After losing to the lowly Raiders in Week 2 a season ago, the Ravens won’t overlook this game or the importance of finishing off a big lead. Look for Baltimore to quickly bounce back and move to 1-1 before a ‘Monday Night Football’ clash with the Lions.” |
| Tim Schwartz |
|
Ravens 38, Browns 20 “The Browns are not nearly as good as the Ravens in any facet of the game, and an 0-2 start would be shocking to everyone in Baltimore. A comfortable win should be in store.” |

Ravens 34, Browns 10 “Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry added up to blowing another big fourth-quarter lead, so the focus will be on trying to dominate wire-to-wire, staying hot and aggressive after a fast start to have the needed furious finish to slam the door on old friend in Joe Flacco.” |

Ravens 30, Browns 17 “The Ravens will be looking to bounce back from a brutal loss to the Bills on Sunday night. It's hard to get past that, but this team and this coach can do it. The Browns played well on defense against the Bengals, but this is another tough challenge. The Ravens will get back on track.” |

Ravens 30, Browns 23 “It feels like a trap game for the Ravens. They opened with the Bills, and after playing the Browns this week, they'll play the Lions in Week 3 and the Chiefs in Week 4. If you were going to overlook one team during that stretch, I'm guessing it wouldn't be the Bills, Lions or Chiefs. I think the Browns take this down to the wire before finding a new way to lose that's even more painful than the way they lost last week.” |

Ravens 31, Browns 20 “The Ravens are still a very good defense. I just don’t know if I believe Cleveland has enough weapons on offense to keep up.” |
