The Cleveland Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. With Baltimore gaining momentum and Cleveland losing laughably to the Jets, it seemed like this was an opportunity for people to take the Ravens in a blowout. However, because Cleveland is at home, that’s making the experts at least keep the score close.

Here is what the national media is saying about the Week 11 game between the Browns and Patriots:

CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) – Ravens 22, Browns 16

The Ravens have come to life with Lamar Jackson back, but they are playing consecutive road games. It won’t matter. The Browns have a good defense, but the offense is limited. The Ravens and Jackson will win it, but it’s close thanks to the Cleveland defense.

CBS Sports (John Breech) – Ravens 23, Browns 20

Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer) – Ravens 24, Browns 13

The Ravens are back to feeling it with Lamar Jackson and his weapons and they need to keep clicking with Derrick Henry, likely to be contained by a tougher Browns run defense at home. Baltimore’s defense has gotten much better vs. the pass of late and it will be just fine vs. Dillon Gabriel.

Sporting News (Bill Bender) – Ravens 26, Browns 19

The Ravens are hot. Baltimore has not converted a turnover and has a plus-seven margin through a three-game winning streak. Dillon Gabriel took six sacks in Week 10, but Baltimore hasn’t had more than two sacks in a game this season. The Browns are 3-0 ATS at home this season and have won three of the last four home meetings against the Ravens. Can they make this ugly enough to keep it close late?
