It's a welcome back for the referees, as the scabs are history as of this very game. And it's a welcome back for me, as I will go stats heavy this week and go back to what I know best, letting the numbers tell me what pick I should make. My pick happens to line up with Jason's on this one. We both like Cleveland +12 in Baltimore. Jason cites the Ravens coming off a big emotional important win on Sunday night, and oh, how we've seen so many letdowns in those circumstances. I'll back my pick up with some stats: Baltimore's legendary defense through three games actually ranks lower than Cleveland in sacks (9 to 8) and interceptions (5 to 3). If the Browns could trot Joe Haden out at CB, I might even have been tempted to call for the shocking upset. I'll just call for the backdoor cover.
My Pick: Baltimore 24-16
