3. Ravens defeat Browns by 30

Lamar Jackson has had a lot of success against the Cleveland Browns in his career. And with his Baltimore Ravens struggling at 3-3 this season, he’s made it no secret that he’s ready to face the Browns in Week 7.

Jackson, who was beyond frustrated following a meltdown in Week 6 that led to a loss against the Giants, said he’s ready to “put on a show” against their divisional rival.

Whenever a player makes such a statement, there’s always the risk of it becoming bulletin-board material that gets their opponent fired up. Against Cleveland, that’s not a concern whatsoever.

The Browns have been a complete mess this season and are lucky to even be 2-4. They nearly blew a lead against the Panthers but were bailed out by a Cade York 58-yard field goal. From there, they lost late leads against the Jets, Falcons, and Chargers. They were also just thoroughly beaten by the Patriots 38-15 in Week 6 and are in full implosion mode.

Cleveland’s defense can’t stop a nosebleed and they’ve been pointing fingers at one another, and now defensive coordinator Joe Woods is pointing fingers at the players — but what do you expect from a team that set a sports world record with the earliest ever “player’s only meeting” which took place in Week 2.

With all that being said, Lamar Jackson is going to go off on this team. They couldn’t stop Austin Ekeler and the Chargers’ ground game, which was one of the worst in the league. In Week 7, Jackson will run wild on them and this prediction is that he leads them to a 30-point win as they remind everyone they’re the team to beat in the AFC North.
