Dimers’ machine-learning models project a 23-19 Ravens win, and Polymarket has Baltimore as the clear favorite, pricing the Ravens at 68¢ to win compared to 32¢ for Cleveland.Browns look to avoid back-to-back lossesFor the first time since Week 1, the Cleveland Browns are coming off a loss. They rebounded nicely from that loss, winning three straight games. After a loss to the Jets in Week 5, Cleveland needs to ensure they don’t let that result turn into an extended slide down the standings. This is a divisional battle against the Ravens, making the result that much more important. The Browns’ defense did fine in Week 5, holding the Jets to under 300 yards of offense and forcing two turnovers. They’ll need more from their offense against the Ravens. Cleveland scored just one touchdown and was held under 200 yards of total offense against New York. Will Lamar Jackson play?One main factor to consider this week is the health of Ravens’ star quarterback Lamar Jackson.Jackson missed the Ravens’ Week 5 overtime victory in Atlanta, but there’s a good chance he will play this week if all goes well. The Ravens showed they can win on the road without Jackson, but we all know that he is dynamic and adds another level to their offense. With that being said, Tyler Huntley is an experienced backup and the Ravens still have Derrick Henry.
