Baltimore no longer is an elite team, but the Ravens still have the better talent and have had extra time to rest and prepare. Their swagger is back, too, after destroying the Steelers.The Ravens are 12-2, including 9-5 ATS, under John Harbaugh when having more than seven days between games.

Baltimore's offensive line has improved significantly both against the run and in pass protection. I'm not a big fan of Joe Flacco, but he's in the right role of game manager and is a level higher than Brian Hoyer.

The Browns have the worst skill position players in the league. Their passing problems will be made worse if tight end Jordan Cameron has to miss a second straight game. The Browns caught the Steelers by surprise opening week switching to a no-huddle in the second half. The Ravens now have film on that.

The Ravens have dominated this series winning 11 of the past 12 times, going 8-4 ATS.
