Key injuries for Baltimore: Pryce and Rolle are out, Ogden and Wilcox are questionable. Looks like its Corey Ivy's time to shine. Oh boy.
Key injuries for Cleveland: Baxter, Carter, McGinest, Peek and Winslow are all questionable, putting an end to the much hyped storyline of Gary Baxter facing the team that released him. Unless that's just what Romeo Crennel wants us to think, and this is all just a clever ploy to trick Billick into creating a game plan that doesn't address the all-encompassing skillset of Gary Baxter. Shrewd move, Mr. Crennel. You truly are a master at the art of strategizing.
Key commentating storyline: Jamal Lewis faces his former team in the midst of what appears to be a healthy season for him and the Browns. I've heard the talking heads say that Jamal will be motivated to do some real damage on sunday with a monster performance, and exact some sort of stirring retribution for being let go, proving that the move was a mistake. That doesn't really sound like Jamal.
Prediction: Baltimore 17, Cleveland 10. The Ravens will control this game thoroughly and the defense will dominate up until the end of the game, where the entire team will lapse and make the final score seem closer than the game ever was. Yup, going out on a limb with that one.
As a member of the Ravens, Jamal Lewis always dominated the Browns. He will hope to continue that trend on Sunday.
Baltimore will hope for more pose-worthy plays courtesy of Ed Reed. Dude just looks good in black
