This week Gary’s Locked and Loaded game of the week is an AFC North divisional tilt between the Cleveland Browns who are in Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The current NFL betting line on this game favors the Ravens by 10½ points.

Gary mentions how the Ravens struggled in week 2 in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and the how their opponent Cleveland are still struggling at quarterback, despite bringing in Jake Delhomme to run the offense.

Kenyon gives his impression of the game and points attributes the Ravens struggles in week two to the loss of Ed Reed and the team’s lack of quality cornerbacks.

“Ed Reed is gone…I know Ray Lewis gets a lot of credit for running (Baltimore’s) defense but Ed Reed flat out makes plays, he’s always around the ball.” Rasheed continues, “They don’t have any cornerbacks, when I look at Baltimore I don’t see a secondary that can take this team to the next level.” He goes on to say that when the offense isn’t playing well it puts too much pressure on the defense to win games.

Payton makes a bold prediction, picking the Ravens to win a low scoring game in a battle of field goals. GP’s final has the Raven’s winning 12-6.
