The AFC North has established itself as arguably the most competitive division in the NFL, with all four teams sporting a winning record heading into Week 12. The week's Sunday Night Football game will feature a divisional matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.

The Ravens lead the AFC North with a 7-3 record, while the Browns are sitting in fourth at 6-5. This will be the first meeting between these team this season.

Lamar Jackson sat out the Ravens Week 11 matchup due to an unknown illness not related to COVID-19. Reports indicate that he'll be back in the lineup against the Browns. Baker Mayfield started for the Browns against the Lions last week, but he didn't look himself as he continues to suffer from a plethora of injuries.

Here are the odds for this Sunday Night Football showdown courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Browns vs. Ravens Prediction and Pick

This matchup is all about the run game. Both teams rank in the top five in the NFL in rushing yards percentage. 43.27% of the offensive yards gained by the Browns comes on the ground which is the third highest mark in the NFL, while 37.51% of the Ravens offensive yards come through the run game, which is the sixth highest mark in the league.

When it comes to stopping the run, the Browns have the advantage. Their defense ranks sixth in opponent yards per carry at 4.1 while the Ravens rank 12th allowing 4.2 yards per rush. As a whole, the Browns rank 10th in opponent yards per play. The Ravens, who many assume have one of the best defenses in the NFL due to recent history, are actually second last in opponent yards per play. Only the Jets allow more yards per play than the Ravens.

I can't back the Ravens in a divisional game while their defense is playing as poorly as they are. I'll take the points with the Browns on Sunday Night Football.

Pick: Browns +4.5
