Result:
WIN

The Cleveland Browns have been rough on quarterbacks since they re-entered the league back in 1999. So has the NFL regarding Robert Griffin, as he is back on the IR. They will turn to Josh McCown, making him the 26th quarterback to start for the beleaguered franchise since they returned to the NFL. While that may turn most sour on the Browns, it might be the opportunity to grab them instead. McCown has been a journeyman for the most part, but he is an eye-appealing 16-6 ATS in his career as a dog. Remember that McCown set a franchise record last year in Baltimore, when he threw for 457 yards, as he upset the Ravens 33-30. McCown also was the QB in Cleveland last year, in a 33-27 loss to Baltimore, but he left that game with a shoulder injury. Flacco is the tale of two quarterbacks at home and away, owning a 31-9 record at home, but just 18-24 on the road where his passer rating is a very pedestrian 78.8. He is also just 3-9 ATS when facing a team that is .250 or less. Flacco's road favorite passer rating is among his worst statistics as a quarterback, coming in at 76.5. He may be considered a big game quarterback off his Super Bowl win a few years back, but he has never been a good little game quarterback. Take the points on Cleveland.
