Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: Pick
• Opening moneyline: Bills -145/Dolphins +125
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland rebounded from -1 to -2.5 over the weekend at BetMGM, even though QB Deshaun Watson is a game-time decision. Then moments ago, the Browns dipped to -1.5.

Spread ticket count is dead even, while 54% of spread money is on Baltimore.

The total tumbled from 42.5 to 38.5, where it sits now. Ticket count is 2/1 on the Under, but money is nearly even.

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Browns -2.5 in the NFL odds Week 4 market, and the line went to -3 Wednesday. But the number fell back this afternoon, making stops at Cleveland -2.5/-1.5 on the way to the current -1.

That's due largely to Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) being listed as questionable. Baltimore is seeing 53% of early spread tickets/58% of early spread cash.

BetMGM's total was already down to 40.5 Wednesday, from a 42.5 opener. In the past 30 minutes or so, it dipped to 39 (Over -120), then inched up to 39.5. Ticket count is 5/1 and money 9/1 on the Under in the early going.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cleveland fared just fine in its first game without Nick Chubb, who suffered a knee injury in Week 2. The Browns (2-1 SU and ATS) were 3.5-point home favorites against Tennessee and rolled 27-3.

Meanwhile, Baltimore (2-1 SU and ATS) suffered one of the more surprising losses of Week 3. The Ravens, laying 7.5 points at home, tumbled to Indianapolis 22-19 in overtime.

The Ravens-Browns line has already bounced around tonight. After opening pick 'em, it initially went to Ravens -1. But it quickly returned to pick 'em, en route to hopping the fence to Browns -1, then Browns -2.

The total also moved early, from 43 to 42.5.

Ravens vs Browns Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Both defenses are great and have the advantage. But while the Browns offense ranks bottom 10 in DVOA, and isn't built to take advantage of the Ravens secondary issues, Baltimore's offense actually ranks top 10 in both rushing and passing and should give Cleveland a real challenge.

The line issues are a concern, but Todd Monken's offense is getting the ball out quickly so that should help protect Lamar Jackson and could be a great antidote for an aggressive Browns front seven.

The trends line up in Baltimore's favor. Deshaun Watson (41% ATS) and Kevin Stefanski (37%) are bad as favorites, with Stefanski just 2-8 ATS as a division favorite. John Harbaugh is 70% ATS as a division underdog, and Lamar Jackson is a sparkling 11-1 ATS as an underdog, including 8-4 straight up.

Pick: Ravens +3 (-120)
