Baltimore has been one of the NFL's most efficient offenses through five games, ranking fifth in offensive EPA per play (+0.151). The Ravens average 29.2 points per game, and their ground game has been especially productive, ranking third in rushing yards per game (164.4) and yards per carry (5.1).

The biggest question heading into Sunday is whether QB Tyler Huntley can keep the offense moving in place of QB Lamar Jackson. If Huntley's outing vs. Atlanta was any indication, the answer to that is yes. Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and 2 TDs last week and added a rushing TD.

The Browns rank near the bottom of the league in run defense, allowing 4.5 yards per carry. Cleveland will also be shorthanded along the defensive front, with DTs Mike Hall Jr. and Kalia Davis ruled out and DE Mason Graham listed as questionable.

Those absences could make it difficult for the Browns to consistently stop Baltimore's powerful offensive line and Henry's downhill running.

Cleveland's offense has also struggled to find consistency behind QB Deshaun Watson. The Browns rank 26th in offensive EPA per play and average just 18.6 points per game. Their offensive line has also struggled with protection, giving up multiple sacks on Watson in every game this season, including 8 sacks in last week's loss to the Jets.

Baltimore's defense has been relatively solid, ranking 16th in defensive EPA per play and allowing 23.8 points per game. The Ravens have the personnel to generate pressure against an injured Cleveland offensive line, especially if the Browns fall behind and become predictable in passing situations.

Ravens vs. Browns Prediction for NFL Week 6 – Sunday, October 18

Here are the key stats and predictions behind our Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns prediction against the spread, set at 3.5 points in favor of the Ravens in NFL Week 6.

Unless otherwise noted, data used in this article is from Sumer Sports, PFF, and Pro Football Reference.

• Baltimore's offense ranks first in offensive success rate (52.26%) and has a clear path to success through its lethal ground game.
• Cleveland's run defense ranks near the bottom of the league in opponent yards per carry (4.5) and has allowed a ten-plus-yard run on 16% of carries it faces, the worst rate in the NFL. 
• Now they will be missing DT Mike Hall Jr. and DT Kalia Davis, with DT Mason Graham also questionable. Since 2025, the Browns have allowed 5.3 yards per carry without Graham.
• The Browns rank 30th in offensive success rate (37.1%), struggling to sustain drives and consistently move the chains.
• Cleveland allowed 8 sacks in its Week 5 loss to the Jets. Baltimore will likely put pressure on QB Deshaun Watson early and often in this game.
• It's difficult to make a clear path to offensive success for Cleveland, while Baltimore has one of — if not the best — unit-on-unit matchups on Sunday’s slate.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks – NFL Week 6

Here are two Ravens vs. Browns player picks to consider today on PrizePicks, including RBs Derrick Henry and Quinshon Judkins.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry vs. Browns — 90.5 Rush Yards

• If you haven’t already noticed, I absolutely love this spot for Henry to run wild against this bad Cleveland Browns run defense.
• Henry is averaging 95.2 rushing yards per game this year, comfortably above his current projection on PrizePicks.
• The Browns rank 30th in yards after contact per rush (3.67), while Henry averages the seventh-most yards after contact per attempt (4.03).
• Cleveland allows 4.5 yards per carry and is now dealing with injuries to arguably its three best run defenders.
• Baltimore's offensive efficiency should help Henry get opportunities in favorable situations. The Ravens rank first in early-down EPA per play, which can keep the offense ahead of the chains and create manageable rushing situations.
• With Huntley starting for Jackson, Baltimore has an incentive to lean on its established ground game rather than ask its backup quarterback to carry the offense. If the Ravens control the game, Henry should have plenty of volume to threaten the 100-yard mark.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins vs. Ravens: 45.5 Rush Yards

• Browns RB Judkins has managed just 221 rushing yards on 73 carries through five games, averaging a disappointing 3.0 yards per carry. 
• Judkins is averaging 44.2 rushing yards per game, meaning this projection is already slightly above his season average.
• Baltimore has been stout against the run, allowing just 102.0 rushing yards per game, ranking 12th in the NFL.
• The Ravens have also allowed the fourth-lowest rush success rate, making it difficult for opposing backs to consistently stay ahead of the chains.
• Judkins has struggled to generate explosive runs, ranking 40th among 43 qualifying running backs in explosive run rate.
• The Browns RB is also dealing with an ankle injury after missing Wednesday and Thursday's practices before returning Friday on a limited basis. He'll likely suit up this afternoon, but Cleveland may manage his workload.
• Game script is another concern. Baltimore has one of the NFL's most productive rushing attacks, averaging 164.4 rushing yards per game. If Henry helps the Ravens build a lead, Cleveland may have to lean more Watson's passing game instead of the run.
• The matchup could also produce fewer total possessions if Baltimore controls the clock with its ground game, which would mean fewer chances for Judkins to add rushing yards.
• The Browns OL will also be down a man as G Teven Jenkins is out with a back injury.
