00:00All right. Well, speaking of big line changes, this is the big one of the week in terms of spread
00:04as the Ravens opened up at five and a half point favorites.
00:07And then naturally, once they announced that Lamar Jackson was going to miss this week, there was some thought that
00:11he would play.
00:12This one went down all the way down to three and a half.
00:16So Snoop Huntley will start at quarterback for Baltimore.
00:20Cleveland, you know, certainly looked awful last week against the New York Jets.
00:25But as I was talking about during the week on some of my other shows, this is probably one of
00:29my favorite plays of the week on Cleveland.
00:32Now, I know that they're getting three and a half here.
00:36And there's a couple of factors here for me, Joe, in this game in particular.
00:39Factor number one is certainly I think that I would sell Huntley as fast as I possibly can.
00:45He's never been good. I mean, basically, it's just last week was just an anomaly sort of week with him.
00:50And then the other part of this, Joe, is that as long as I followed this series and as bad
00:55as the Browns have been and as good as the Ravens have been, the Browns have always beat the Ravens
00:59once.
00:59I don't know if it's going to be this week.
01:01And if it's not, OK, then I'll just make sure that I remember the next time around when they go
01:05to Baltimore, because a couple of years ago, when Baltimore was putting up 70s, Nick Chubb ran for 200 yards
01:11on the Ravens and they ended up losing.
01:12So I would it's the line is obviously not as good as it was earlier in the week, but there's
01:18just no endorsing Huntley from Lamar Jackson.
01:20I just think it's it's a bigger drop off for me than the line would indicate.
01:25Yeah, I think the theme of this week is there was a lot of early value and a lot of
01:28that early value is now starting to fall apart, whether it being that Falcons total we talked about or in
01:33this game where it was five and a half.
01:34And that's where I got it because I was like, oh, five and a half on Cleveland.
01:37Let's go. This exact path of thought was the same of mine that you had, which is Cleveland Browns are
01:44competitive without Lamar Jackson.
01:47Probably not. And you saw he wasn't practicing early. I didn't think it was going to be a good situation.
01:50Remember, they don't have a buy till week 13 coming up.
01:54So it's a far away time here for the Ravens for getting Lamar Jackson.
01:59Now he's not going to have like some kind of buffer in the weeks ahead where they go, OK, cool.
02:02We've got a rest week here. We can rest Lamar. We got to figure this out sooner than later.
02:05So I do think this is a precarious situation for them to go into Cleveland.
02:09And I think right now that five and a half gone, the best value is probably the money line straight
02:13up of Cleveland finding a way to win this football game.
02:16Now, going against them is Judkins health. He's going to be more of a game time decision.
02:20They have Julian McLaughlin is going to handle some of that role as well.
02:23McLaughlin at times when he was called upon by the Broncos in years past has shown that he can handle
02:27a workload, be a streaming RB for you in that situation.
02:31Look for Denzel Boston in this game to kind of get back on track.
02:33Concepcion was dealing with concussion protocol. We'll see how healthy he is in this game, too.
02:38But I'm with you. I definitely think this is a winnable game.
02:41Also, back to back road games for the Ravens.
02:44The Ravens pulled a rabbit out of their hat last week in overtime with Lana.
02:48I don't know if they're going to be able to do that two weeks in a row on the road.
02:51So therefore, I'm on the money line here. Plus 150 for Cleveland.
02:55A lot of folks are referring to longtime backup for Lamar Jackson and Snoop Huntley, forgetting that two years ago
03:02he started several games for the Miami Dolphins.
03:04He was horrible there, too. I don't understand. People forget that he's now back with Baltimore for a second time.
