Ravens vs. Browns: NFL experts make Week 8 picks
The Ravens (5-2) and Browns (1-6) are set for an intriguing AFC North matchup that could allow Baltimore to put the nail in Cleveland’s playoff coffin.
With Deshaun Watson out for the season with a torn Achilles, Jameis Winston will start as quarterback for a Cleveland team running out of chances to turn this season around. Baltimore could be without cornerback Marlon Humphrey, while Zay Flowers will play after missing two days of practice.
With kickoff fast approaching, here’s who the experts are picking.
