NFL Analysts Have No Faith in Browns to Defeat Ravens in Week 6

The Cleveland Browns have a big opportunity in front of them this week, with the team hosting the rival Baltimore Ravens.

Cleveland is off to a strong start this season, sitting with a record of 3-2 entering the game with Baltimore. The Browns have been a major surprise in the NFL this season, with both sides of the ball playing well.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson has given this team a real chance to win games this year, which is all the Browns can ask from him. Watson has done just enough to help put this team into a position to win, and it's given the group a lot of confidence.

Entering the game against the Ravens this week, Cleveland will be facing off against quarterback Tyler Huntley, with star Lamar Jackson ruled out. Huntley just led the Ravens to a big win last week against the Atlanta Falcons, so the Browns may have a challenge on their hands.

Cleveland did lose last week, but this team will be looking to bounce back against the Ravens in their quest to overtake the AFC North. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of belief in the Browns from the media heading into the contest with Baltimore.

Heading into the game, NFL.com editors Jeremy Bergman, Brooke Cersosimo, Gennaro Filice, Bobby Kownack, and Dan Parr all predicted how the game would go. Every one of them picked the Ravens to win, showing no faith in Cleveland this week.

While the Browns have gotten off to a solid start, it takes time to build trust from people around the NFL. Cleveland hasn't proven anything yet, and this team has to keep performing at a consistent level to be taken seriously over the course of a season.

But the Browns are fully comfortable being viewed as underdogs, giving them more to prove heading into this game. Cleveland has confidence and a strong level of belief in the locker room, and that is all they need to succeed.

Head coach Todd Monken has this team playing well right now, and he has instilled a sense of winning to the organization. The Browns still have a lot of work to do this season to reach the playoffs, but this game against Baltimore could offer them a chance to make a statement.

If Cleveland can get the win over the Ravens, it would cement them as one of the better teams in the entire AFC.
