Saturday’s NFL slate will feature all four AFC North teams, with the division on the line. The Baltimore Ravens need to win versus the Cleveland Browns to secure the AFC North and #3 seed in the AFC. As 20.5-point favorites, that may come easy. Let’s get into my best Browns vs Ravens player prop bet for Saturday, while you can also check out our NFL picks for EVERY Week 18 matchup.
Zay Flowers (BAL) over 56.5 receiving yards (-115)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Be cautious with your betting approach in Browns-Ravens. The Ravens are nearly three-touchdown favorites. The sportsbooks have yet to release many lines, including Lamar Jackson’s passing attempts and completions. Meanwhile, the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Bailey Zappe, is making his first start of the year. However, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Dorian Thompson-Robinson could still see reps. Let’s dive into where we’re putting our money for Saturday.
Zay Flowers was elected to his first Pro Bowl this week. He outdueled talented wideouts that included Garrett Wilson, Tyreek Hill, Tee Higgins, and George Pickens. Flowers’ career year resulted in his first 1,000-yard season and four touchdowns. He’ll look to stamp his regular season off with a Week 18 duel against a Browns defense that he punished this season already. In Week 8, Flowers reeled in 7 catches on 12 targets for 115 yards – His 5th 100+ yard game this season.
Last week, Flowers had just 2 catches on 5 targets versus the Texans on Christmas. But that led the team, as Jackson threw the ball 15 times on their way to a 31-2 routing.
Flowers’ receiving line has been bet up to 62.5 on FanDuel Sportsbook, while the rest of the market is down to 56.5. Six yards may not make a difference, but we’ll take advantage of it when we can, especially in a game with a 3-touchdown spread.
