At the beginning of the season, the Browns were a trendy pick for NFL Bets to make the playoffs. Problematic was the optimism was based on a few wins in late meaningless games last season. Now reality has set in. Cleveland is again outclassed. And the concerns about quarterback Baker Mayfield’s maturity are again looking legitimate. Baltimore has looked like the more promising team to start the 2019 campaign. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has given them a new dynamic element. As a matter of fact, Jackson has transformed the Ravens into one of the top offenses in the NFL.

Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens NFL Bets Picks
On this occasion, the slumping Browns are a difficult sell for NFL Bets. What was most galling about last week was Mayfield’s inability to finish drives, especially at game’s end. More emphatically Jackson has proven to be the more impressive quarterback.
