3 Legs to Bet for Browns vs Ravens Same-Game Parlay

1. Time of First Score – Under 7 Mins

This NFL parlay pick is what determines if we cash as the last two legs are almost given. But we’ll put faith that the Ravens (or even the Browns) can put points on the NFL scoreboard within seven minutes. Cleveland has a decent rushing defense but Derrick Henry can score on anyone.

Per Browns vs Ravens betting tips, Baltimore also averages 5.1 points per first quarter at home. The Browns have one of the best third-down defenses (35.2%) but struggle in the red zone. And this only counts touchdowns. Baltimore, on the other hand, is one of the best at moving the ball (48% on third-down conversion) and scoring inside the 20 (74.2% – leads the NFL).

Baltimore is also still playing for the division while the Browns have a top-three draft pick lined up. The Ravens want this game more so they’ll push harder and score before the halfway mark of the opening period.

Bet This Parlay Pick: Time of First Score Under 7 minutes (-129) 

2. Lamar Jackson – Under 0.5 Pass Interceptions

The Ravens want to win the division but may also want to rest many if not most of their starters. If this is a rout, don’t be surprised to see quarterback Lamar Jackson and the stars sit. That helps our next parlay leg here as Jackson should throw zero interceptions in this game.

Jackson has put together his best season, statistically. He’s thrown 39 touchdowns with a 67.9% pass completion rate. These are career bests, as are having only four interceptions and a 0.9% interception rate. Whether he’s sitting in the pocket or scrambling, Jackson makes the shrewd play.

And if Jackson sits at some point, this prop gets better. Outside of a fluke, Jackson should have another interception-less game. It’s an NFL prediction that makes for a solid parlay piece.

Bet This Parlay Pick: Lamar Jackson Under 0.5 Pass Interceptions (-176)

3. Double Result (Excluding OT) – Baltimore

Baltimore is having another Super Bowl-worthy season so an easy win here is the least it can do. The Browns shocked the Ravens earlier in the season mainly due to Jameis Winston. But now that he’s out, the Browns are all but incapacitated.

Per NFL news, Bailey Zappe will get the start at quarterback after Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR) didn’t throw a touchdown and had six interceptions for a 38.6 passer rating. It will be a tough task for him to keep up with the Ravens even if their starters sit later.

The Ravens should start strong, go up, and lead by halftime. Then they’ll let the backups finish the job even if DTR and the Browns can score some garbage time points. Based on the NFL odds, this is a better parlay pick than a straight-up win in NFL bets today.
