2022 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 7

Cleveland Browns (2-4) @ Baltimore Ravens (3-3)

Sunday, October 23, 1:00 PM ET

Some games are easier to pick than others on a weekly basis, and it feels like this is one of those particular types of games. The Baltimore Ravens are coming off of a somewhat shocking loss to the New York Giants in which they blew a 10-point lead, and that wasn’t the only sign we’ve had of this being a poor fourth-quarter team this season.

Unfortunately.

The Ravens are imperfect, but they have one of the league’s top playmakers in Lamar Jackson and Jackson has done well against the Browns throughout his NFL career. He’s got 15 career touchdowns against Cleveland — 11 passing, four rushing — and the Ravens have won five of the eight games he’s started against them. The only team Jackson has more wins against in his NFL career so far is the Cincinnati Bengals (six).

Cleveland has been pretty impressive this year offensively despite only being 2-4. They rank 7th in the NFL in points per game and aside from this last weekend against the Patriots, they have run for more than 170 yards in every contest thus far. The Ravens have given up over 100 yards rushing in three of their last four games, but if they can limit turnovers in this contest, they are easily the team to pick here playing at home.

Prediction: Ravens win 29-21
