*10* SIDE OF THE MONTH on Baltimore Ravens.
The Baltimore Ravens come into Cleveland getting a bunch of points against a Browns team that has really been a mess all year long. The Ravens have actually won two of their last three, and the one loss during that span came by just two points. My money is on the visitors plus the points.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Quarterbacks - Both teams will turn to veteran backups, with Josh McCown replacing Johnny Manziel, and Matt Schaub filling in for Joe Flacco. This is a huge opportunity for Schaub, who owns a winning record as a starter (46-44), including seven seasons in Houston. In four seasons between 2009-2012, he threw for over 4,000 yards with 20+ TDs three times. He's only 34 years old, and it's not that unrealistic to think he can work his way back to being a starter in this league.
2. Previous History - The Ravens have dominated this series, winning eight of the last 10 meetings with the Browns. One of Cleveland's two wins came earlier this year by a score of 33-30, and that wouldn't be a wide enough margin to cover tonight's number.
3. X-Factor - Baltimore's defense looked very good shutting down Todd Gurley last week. The rookie only gained 66 yards on 25 carries.
Selection: This is a play on the Baltimore Ravens (10*)
