Ravens Go To Cleveland To Face Browns

The Baltimore Ravens travel to Cleveland this weekend to face the Browns at 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS. The Ravens are coming off a 29-10 win against the Oakland Raiders. The Browns are coming off a 23-17 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens sit at 4-3 and the Browns sit at 3-4. This week will be the second meeting this season between the division rivals. The Ravens came out with the first win 28-10. The Ravens will probably be facing a different Browns team as when the Ravens played them they were struggling. Since then the Browns have been playing well and winning some games. The Ravens are coming off what I thought was their best offensive performance of the year. We will have to see what new offensive formations the Ravens come out with this week.

The Ravens will hopefully be welcoming back Samri Rolle(neck) this week. Rolle has missed the past four weeks and is questionable for week 9. S Dwan Landry will miss his fifth straight week this week with neck problems. T Jared Gaither (neck), CB Chris McAlister (knee), TE Daniel Wilcox (thigh) are all doubtful for the game. Also RT Adam Terry who has missed the past two weeks is questionable for the game this week. RT Willie Anderson was playing well replacing Terry. Also RG Chris Chester is continuing to play well, replacing Marshal Yanda who is out for the season.

The Ravens offence will try to continue their success from last week on offence. The Ravens offence switched things up last week with some tricky formations. This fooled the Raiders and caught them off guard. Hopefully the Ravens will try to do the same thing to the Browns. QB Troy Smith played well last week participating in some of the trick plays that the Ravens ran. It was Smith’s first game back that from an illness and he will try to continue his success this week. QB Joe Flacco had another good week last week. It seems when Flacco plays well the Ravens offence plays well. Flacco as a rookie has looked very impressive and it seems he has a bright future in this league. The offence last week finally got RB Ray Rice more involved in the game. Look for more of the same this week. Also the Ravens offensive line will try to continue their success and they will be one of the main keys in the Ravens offense. The Ravens defense will try to have another good week this week, as they have been solid all season. The secondary has had success with Frank Walker and Fabian Washington in at corner. Look for them to both start again this week as Rolle and McAlister are both having problems with injuries.

The Ravens will try to build on their two game winning streak and they will need a good performance out of their offense. Also Ravens fans don’t forget to vote for your favourite Ravens in the pro-bowl voting at NFL.com. I am predicting a 27-16 win for the Ravens.
