Why Baltimore Ravens Will Win

Cleveland has to run to win, but it’s about to hit a brick wall.

It was able to come up with 113 yards on the ground in the first meeting – a 23-20 loss back in Week 7 – but it has to do a whole to more.

The team is 0-5 when coming up with fewer than 171 rushing yards and 5-3 when getting that many or more. The No. 2 run defense in the NFL hasn’t allowed more than 145 in any game and only gave up more than 100 four times.

This is going to be a low scoring battle – it’s almost certainly not going to hit 43 points like the first meeting – and that fits the Ravens just fine. Their last three games have been decided by a total of four points – they won two of them and lost in the final moments against Jacksonville.

This is a battle-tested team that’s pushed through a slew of issues to be 6-1 in the last seven, but …

Why Cleveland Browns Will Win

The Raven offense is struggling without Lamar Jackson.

With Jackson still out with a knee injury, it’s been a grind. Tyler Huntley will go after suffering a concussion, but the offense has to start doing more after failing to get to 17 points in three of the last four games.

The Cleveland offense hasn’t exactly been rolling since Deshaun Watson took over – just one touchdown in two weeks for the O – but the passing game started to click a wee bit in the loss to Cincinnati.

In the first meeting, the Brown defense was able to hold up in the first game, but turnovers proved costly.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be cold, both offenses are going to struggle a bit, and it’s going to come down to mistakes.

Deshaun Watson will have one of his best performances yet – it’s his first home game for the Browns – the pass rush will rise up, and Baltimore will be taken a bit out of its offensive comfort zone.

It’ll be close, both kickers will play a big role, and when it absolutely needs to work, the Brown running game will come through.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
