The Ravens and Browns are AFC North rivals, so they play twice every regular season. This page tracks how sportsbooks price every meeting: the opening and closing lines, how far prices differ between books and the result. We update it before and after each game.

Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. ET. The prices below are an OddsBay snapshot from October 14, 2026, and they will move before kickoff. Compare live prices on the OddsBay price finder.

  • Spread: Ravens −4.5 (consensus across books)

How the line has moved

When OddsBay first recorded prices from several books, on Sep 10, the line was Ravens −6.5 to −7 with a total of 43.5. It is now Ravens −4.5 with a total of 41.5. The early line came from only a handful of books, so the more useful comparison is with recent prices: the market now rates Cleveland about two points closer than it did in September.

How the teams have played this season

From the games OddsBay recorded this season, measured against each game’s closing line:

  • Ravens: 4–1 straight up, 2–3 against the closing spread; 3 overs and 2 unders; 29.2 points scored and 23.8 allowed per game.
  • Browns: 3–2 straight up, 3–2 against the closing spread; 3 overs and 2 unders; 18.6 points scored and 22.4 allowed per game.

Five weeks of games is a small sample, and the market already knows these records, so use them as context rather than a reason to bet. Baltimore has won more games, but Cleveland has the better record against the spread.
