The AFC North-leading Ravens look for the regular season sweep over the Browns in the second game of Saturday's tripleheader (4:30 p.m. ET, NFLN). Baltimore enters Week 15 off two narrow victories -- a 10-9 win over Denver in Week 13 and a 16-14 road win over Pittsburgh last Sunday. In both wins, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley took the majority of snaps under center with Lamar Jackson nursing a knee injury.Huntley exited midway through the third quarter last week and is currently in the league's concu sion protocol. He was able to log a limited se sion in Baltimore's Tuesday practice, giving him a shot to start on Saturday. Jackson, meanwhile, didn't practice on Tuesday and is trending toward mi sing his second-straight game.Cleveland's playoff hopes are dwindling, but it's still alive and has a manageable schedule to close out the regular season. The Browns are in must-win mode, and notching a home victory over Baltimore is the first step in potentially sneaking into the postseason. Despite posting a 1-1 record in Deshaun Chris Paul Jersey Watson's first two starts, the high-priced QB has underwhelmed through two weeks, posting a 48.3 QBR to go along with a 59.4 completion percentage. It certainly takes time to adjust to playing at game speed, but with zero margin for error, Watson needs to play to the level of his $230 million contract.WEEK 15 NFL PICKS: | Can the Browns keep their slim playoff hopes alive or will the Ravens continue to have their way in this one-sided series?For those looking for a play, we'll give you all the information you need before placing a wager on Browns-Ravens, including the ,tips, and our prediction for this Week 15 AFC North showdown. Spread:Browns-3(-101); Ravens+3 (-119)Over/Under:38Moneyline:Browns -154; Ravens+128In the preseason look-ahead lines, Cleveland also sat as a 2.5-point home favorite, as the betting market hasn't shifted much from then to now. Baltimore's quarterback situation coupled with the recent return of Deshaun Watson has kept the Browns as short home favorites, but if Jackson suited up, there's a chance the Ravens would flip to short favorites.When Cleveland fell to Baltimore in Week 7, the Ravens closed as 6.5-point home favorites, so there's been a decent shift in the market from then to now. At that time, the Browns would have been priced closer to a PK or a short home underdog.The total has seen more movement than the spread, Danilo Gallinari Jersey dropping down to 38.5 after opening up at 42. Again, Baltimore's QB situation is the main catalyst in the recent influx of UNDER money.MORE WEEK 15 NFL: The Ravens lead the all-time series over the Browns with a 35-12 overall record. This one-sided series has been all Baltimore of late, as the Ravens enter Sunday's matchup winners in 11 of the past 14 meetings. One of those three Cleveland wins came in Week 14 of last season when the Browns notched a narrow 24-22 win. In that game, Lamar Jackson exited early in the second quarter with an ankle injury and was replaced by Tyler Huntley. -- Baltimore has been playing in some relatively low-scoring games of late, as eight of its past 10 games have fallen UNDER the closing total.-- Cleveland has had trouble covering numbers at home against Baltimore, sporting a lackluster 1-7 ATS mark in their past eight home meetings.-- According to , "John Harbaugh is 41-14 versus poor rushing defenses allowing at least 4.5 rushing yards/carry." Does Deshaun Watson finally get going?As we previously mentioned, Watson's play through two weeks hasn't been great. He didn't need to do much in Cleveland's Week 13 win over Houston, as the Browns' defense and special teams dominated, and he struggled when Cleveland stepped up in cla s last week against Cincinnati. Per PFF Oklahoma City Thunder Hoodie , Watson's graded out as a below-average QB through his first two games, posting a . In comparison, Jacoby Bri sett's offensive grade is the eighth highest among QBs this season ( ). With Cleveland still playing for something, making a QB change this late in the season should help the offense, not hurt it. Again, it's only been two games, but Watson needs to have an effective game Oklahoma City Thunder Jeresy this Saturday.Cleveland's rush defenseCleveland's run defense and tackling have been its main weakne s this season. The Browns allow 4.8 yards per carry (26th) and grade out as the third-worst run defense per PFF ( ). That's a major cause for concern against Baltimore's run-heavy offense. BetQL's stat regarding John Harbaugh-coached teams having their way against subpar run defenses is pretty telling, as the Ravens should gash the Browns on the ground. JK Dobbins returned from the injured reserve last week, and while he clearly wasn't 100 percent, he still rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on 8.0 yards per carry. Gus Edwards (13 carries, 66 yards last week) was also effective, and the Browns will have a tough time containing both.Tyler Huntley as a pa serDespite still being in the league's concu sion protocol, Huntley's availability in Tuesday's practice is a good sign that he'll end up making his second start of the season. His yards per attempt have been low (6.1 YPA), but he's completed 77.8 percent of his pa ses and is a competent backup. While Baltimore figures to lean heavily on its ground game, Huntley's ability to make plays through the air adds another dimension to the Ravens' offense that will stre s the Browns' defense. Baltimore's most efficient plays could come via the play-action. 0.063.That's Cleveland's this season, the fifth-highest among all defenses. Additionally, the Browns' defense sports the highest EPA/rush allowed in the NFL (0.085) and now faces a Ravens offense with the second-highest EPA/rush (0.058). Can Joe Woods' defense win at the line of scrimmage and stop the run? Right now, the advanced stats say "no." , we highlighted Cleveland -2.5 as one of our best bets thinking both Huntley and Jackson would be out, leaving Anthony Brown to make his first career start. After Huntley logged a limited practice on Tuesday, we're expecting him to clear the league's concu sion protocol, completely changing the handicap of this game. Cleveland's inability to stop the run coupled with Watson's inconsistent play results in the Browns' slim playoff hopes coming to an end in a home lo s.PREDICTION: Ravens23, Browns 20.Baltimore (+3 Dennis Schroder Jersey ) covers the spread with the game going OVER the total (38.5).
