The AFC North is one of the best division in football this season. If the playoffs started today, the entire division would qualify for the postseason. Every team in the AFC North is at least two games over .500.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have won four in a row and have beaten their last three opponents by a score of 106-33. Jackson is one of the favorites to win his second MVP award at +400 at BetMGM, behind only Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes.
Baltimore won the first game 28-3, but Browns rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson started and threw three interceptions. This week, Deshaun Watson is under center for the Browns. Watson played well last week in his return from a shoulder injury, throwing for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win against Arizona.
This game is about the Ravens’ top-ranked rushing offense vs. the Browns’ league-leading defense that averages allowing fewer than 235 yards per game to opponents. If Baltimore struggles to get its running game going against the Browns, look for Jackson to look toward Zay Flowers, who leads the team in both targets and receptions.
