baltimore at cleveland..

[gardenweasel]

it pains me to say it,but,i hit cleveland as soon as i saw that +7 hit the board last night...heres another situation with the ravens` that screams for underdog money(and a touch on the moneyline)....

ravens coming off a high profile win in a nationally televised game(read that it`s right up there among the most watched games in history).......with some extra time off.......then going on the road to play a perceived weak sister....

anybody that watched cleveland play yesterday knows that this team isn`t terrible (with hillis in the line-up)_... their defense is extremely solid(particularly vs the pass)... i thought that they controlled the majority of the game vs the bengals yesterday....add in the fact this is a division rivalry and that a win would basically salve the wounds of another "meh" season for the browns.....

the ravens have shown time and again this year that they falter/lose focus when on the rebound off of a high profile win(vs a perceived soft touch)...particularly as a traveler..

just my opinion....something to think about..

I agree with your assessment about the browns defense and they did control the majority of that game. Had Bengals teased and was very fortunate and thankful for the teaser cover!

Can Cleveland score on Balty? 17-13 type of game??

the ravens followed the first pittsburgh win with a loss at tennessee...then they followed up the houston win with a loss at jacksonville.....then followed up the second pittsburgh win with a loss at seattle...

tennessee/jacksonville and seattle...whod`a thunk it?....certainly jacksonville and seattlle seem very similar to cleveland in that they have mediocre-to-poor offenses and relatively solid defenses...and i would argue that the browns are much more familiar with the ravens....add hillis back into the mix(he`s had his moments vs the ravens) and it doesn`t appear to be a game that the ravens can afford to half-ass.....

It's still a division game and all of those are big.

That games gets none of my money except what I spend at BWW watching it.

Okay, Sponge.

Okay, Sponge.

i don`t get the correlation between making a play on next week`s action based on past performance and the sponge?..........

you lost me there....

I WOULD AGREE BUT..............

I WOULD AGREE BUT..............

YEAH, I AGREE. WE ARE ALL WORRIED ABOUT NEXT WEEK'S GAME AND THE LETDOWN SITUATION THAT THE RAVENS JUST HAVE NOT GOTTEN UP FOR TIME AND TIME AGAIN THIS SEASON...

BUT!!!


THIS IS A DIVISION GAME AND THEY WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE UP FOR THIS ONE.

THEN ITS THE COLTS AT HOME..EVEN IF THE RAVENS PLAY HORRIBLE, THEY STILL WIN THAT ONE. THEN THE ONE I AM PERSONALLY WORRIED ABOUT IS AT SAN DIEGO...ACROSS THE COUNTRY AGAINST A BAD TEAM

RAVENS BETTER REALIZE THEY HAVE TO RUN THE BOARD TO GET A 1ST ROUND BYE IN THE PLAYOFFS. NEW ENGLAND'S AND PITTSBURGH'S (WITH EXCEPTION OF AT SAN FRAN) SCHEDULES ARE SO SOFT IT'S SICKENING.

Totally agree. Harbaugh had another gatorade bath Thursday night and we all know what comes after that. Last bath was preceded by a loss in Seattle.

Your also right with Cleveland. I was all over them Sunday vs Cincy. They have a physical defense and with Hillis back they can move the chains. This line should be 3 or less.
