Ravens are huge favorites against Browns in Week 1 to open 2020 season

The Baltimore Ravens 2020 schedule was just released and oddsmakers are already set to take your bets. Week 1’s odds are up and at least one oddsmaker is a huge believer in the Ravens this season.

Going up against the Cleveland Browns to open the season, BetMGM has Baltimore as 7.5-point favorites right now. That’s a massive spread and it’s tied for the second-highest of the week thus far, falling behind the Arizona Cardinals at the San Francisco 49ers which debuted at 8.5 points.

With such a huge spread already set up, some might be tempted to put down some money to take advantage of it. No matter which way you bet — for or against the Ravens and the points — a $100 bet would be a $91 payout if you won.

Though Baltimore struggled early last year, losing to Cleveland in Week 3, it marked their last loss of the 2019 season. The Ravens demolished the Browns, in Cleveland, in Week 16, 31-15. Quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 64.5% of his passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 103 rushing yards on 17 attempts.

In our early score predictions, I had it being a far closer game, with the Ravens winning by just five points. But if you’re the betting type and think you know how the game will go, take advantage of BetMGM’s hefty spread.
