00:00Our first game of week 18 the final weekend in the regular season is in baltimore tomorrow afternoon

00:06Set for a 4 30 p.m

00:08Eastern time kick in the charm city the ravens and the browns in a divisional duel if baltimore wins

00:15As you can see they will claim the afc

00:19North it is a 19 and a half point spread against the cleveland browns who are starting

00:26Not james winston not dorian thompson robinson, but as of the latest reports

00:32Bailey zappy is going to get his first start in cleveland total is 41 and a hook

00:38This is one of the largest spreads we have seen in an nfl game in a very long time

00:44So let me ask you joe a quick two-part question

00:48If you'll allow it number one just to get it out of the way

00:51Is there any chance that baltimore loses this game outright and then number two

00:57How can the ravens if at all cover this number?

01:02It's an outrageous number ben I mean we're almost up to 20 points, uh, the only justification

01:10To have a line this big here ben would be because the defense that the ravens are playing is so terrible

01:17That they can't help but score points

01:19But that's not the case with cleveland cleveland's defense was good enough to beat them the first go around

01:25uh, and the defense is certainly

01:27Decent. I mean their last four games the total points been 41 38 30 and 23

01:33This is not a defense that's rolling over by any stretch of the imagination here

01:38And listen baltimore all they need to do and harba knows this is win the game and move on

01:44So the idea that they're going to keep their foot on the gas in this one, uh when the game might be out of reach

01:52I'm, not buying it here at all. Uh, it's gotten to the point where now

01:57I gotta take cleveland as terrible as that is. It's strictly a numbers game ben. There is no way

02:02I can't take the points here with uh a cleveland team who defensively

02:08You don't think they know what the spread is here ben. You think that defense is going to take kindly to thinking that?

02:14What you're going to blow us out here that the spread is almost 20

02:18I think cleveland here. I don't think they win it, but I also don't think the ravens it's do or die that the ravens

02:24Cover this spread. I think they just want the win. I think they'll get it

02:28But I don't think they're going to get it by more than 19 and a half points
