- Find the best Browns vs Ravens betting lines for this Saturday game at BetUS.
- The Ravens are the hefty favorites against the moribund Browns
- Our expert Browns vs Ravens picks tout the favorite plus a low-scoring total
The oddsmakers ensure we can’t profit off Baltimore in a meaningless game against Cleveland. The Ravens are a whopping 17.5-point favorites on the NFL odds. They are already in the playoffs and are unlikely to play their starters for the full game. Cleveland could be in the running for the first overall pick. It has no reason to win. Thus, we can’t bet on a team other than Baltimore in this spot.

4 Best Browns vs Ravens Bets for NFL Week 18
1. Baltimore Ravens ML (-1700)
Yikes. We do not recommend laying -1700 for Baltimore to win, especially when it will likely rest most if not all of its starters at some point in the game. Keeping the stars healthy means more than securing a top-three spot in the playoffs. However, we’re also avoiding Cleveland like the plague.
The Browns are awful and can’t do much of anything. They’ve scored no more than seven points in each of their last three games. Cleveland has been outscored 16-65. We’d still trust Josh Johnson with the Ravens over what Cleveland will have, especially if the “reward” is higher for Cleveland to lose than to win. If you’re in dire need of a sure NFL parlay pick, go with the Ravens’ moneyline.

2. Baltimore Ravens ATS -17.5 (-105)
We’re also not thrilled to tout Baltimore at -17.5. This is more than two touchdowns and a field goal. Still, Baltimore should have no issues shutting Cleveland down. The Ravens’ defense has turned a corner and has held their last three opponents to 17 points or fewer. They shut down the Texans 31-2 on Christmas Day. Even with backups, our money is on Baltimore.
John Harbaugh has been one heck of a coach as seen by his previous preseason winning streak. And while Kevin Stefanski is a two-time Coach of the Year winner for Cleveland, he’s seemingly run out of ways to get the Browns’ paltry offense to score. Our NFL expert pick is with Baltimore and the points.

3. Player Prop: Derrick Henry Under 87.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
The Ravens should beat the Browns handily here. But Derrick Henry could still see limited action. The All-Pro running back is slated for 88.5 rushing yards and we’re betting online against it. Henry only rushed for 73 yards in the loss to Cleveland in Week 8. And he’ll get around this much as the returning Justice Hill should get plenty of runs.
The Browns are terrible but still have a decent rushing defense. They have not allowed an opponent to go over 120 rushing yards in five of their last six games. Bet under Henry’s rushing yards.
Bet on Derrick Henry Under 87.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Watch this entire sequence because it perfectly highlights how inept and pathetic this Browns offense has been all season.

4. Browns vs Ravens Under 41.5 (-115)
The total could not be any higher here. Keep an eye on NFL news regarding the status of Baltimore’s starters as this line could be short given what we have. As it stands, it’s hard to see either team scoring enough to hit the 42-point mark. Baltimore may just score 28+ by itself even before resting its starters. But Cleveland?
We’d be surprised if Cleveland scores two or more touchdowns here. Dorian Thompson-Robinson is one of the worst quarterbacks and has thrown six interceptions with no touchdowns this season. Even against Baltimore’s backups, he won’t get Cleveland enough points. Fade this total and bet the under.
