Ravens vs. Browns: MNF prop bets for Lamar Jackson, Nick Chubb and more

Week 14 of the NFL season finishes with a divisional rivalry with massive playoff implications as the Baltimore Ravens travel to Cleveland to face the Browns.

The Ravens have grappled with COVID-19 issues and several rescheduled games, and have slid to 7-5 after starting 5-1. Meanwhile, the 9-3 Browns have won four consecutive games and are primed for a postseason berth.

Here are the three best betting props for the Week 14 Monday Night Football showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.

Lamar Jackson passing touchdowns

The 2019 NFL MVP has not had the season he would have hoped for after his dominant performance against the Browns in Week 1. Jackson has only averaged 178 passing yards per game and 14 total touchdowns in his 10 games since that outing.

In his two games against the Browns in 2019, Jackson threw for 485 passing yards and six touchdowns. It is safe to say that Lamar loves to pass against Cleveland. Meanwhile, the Browns defense ranks 29th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (25). They have allowed the opposing quarterback to throw for at least two touchdowns in eight of their 12 games this season.

This is a must-win game for the Ravens, and Jackson will need to get his passing game going to get this win. Jackson has thrown for multiple touchdowns in six of his 11 games this season, and I expect this one to be another.

Pick: Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+150)

Nick Chubb rushing yards

Derrick Henry and Dalvin Cook get all the love and rightfully so, but Nick Chubb is having an incredible season. Chubb has averaged an astounding 6.0 yards per carry and 108 rushing yards per game in his seven complete games.

In Week 1, Chubb only managed 60 yards rushing against the Ravens, but he only got 10 carries because of the game flow. The Browns should be in a much closer game than the Week 1 beatdown they endured. Last year, Chubb had one bad game against the Ravens, but also had a 165-yard performance in a Week 4 win. 

Nick Chubb has been dominant since returning from injury in Week 10, and I expect him to have another good game on Monday night against the Ravens. This defense allowed 133 rushing yards to Derrick Henry and I could see a similar performance from Chubb on Monday night. 

Pick: Over 77.5 rushing yards (-120)

Mark Andrews receptions

Mark Andrews went through a rough stretch of the season between Weeks 2 and 9, where he only had one game with more than three receptions. However, the big tight end became a more vital part of the offense in Weeks 10 and 11, getting a combined 12 receptions before missing the last two games due to COVID-19-related issues.

In Week 1, Andrews had five receptions on six targets and has averaged 4.0 receptions on 6.2 targets in his five career games against Cleveland. In fact, he only failed to get at least four receptions against the Browns once in his career, and that was his first career game against them. The opponent’s starting tight end has gone over 3.5 receptions in nine of the 12 games the Cleveland Browns have played this season.

Pick: Over 3.5 receptions (-130)
