CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns travel to Baltimore for Week 2 matchup with the division-rival Ravens. The game is ripe with storylines.
Both teams are 0-1. Quarterback Joe Flacco is playing in Baltimore for the first time since the Ravens traded him. The Ravens are holding a 30th anniversary celebration.
Here are our picks for Sunday’s game in Baltimore.
Dan Labbe (1-0)
Storyline: Does the fight the Browns showed by trash-talking during the week translates to their performance on the field?
Pick: Ravens 24, Browns 12
Ashley Bastock (0-1)
Storyline: The Browns’ defense, specifically safety Grant Delpit and linebacker Carson Schwesinger, against the Ravens’ explosive offense. It will be a huge game for Delpit in trying to contain players like Lamar Jackson.
Pick: Ravens 24, Browns 22
Mary Kay Cabot (0-1)
Storyline: Joe Flacco’s emotional return to Baltimore for the first time. He will be hyped up with friends, family, and former fans in attendance, but it won’t result in a storybook win for the Browns.
Pick: Ravens 27, Browns 17
