An AFC North meeting between the division's two bottom teams Baltimore Ravens (3-7) and Cleveland Browns (2-8) will be held at the FirstEnergy Stadium on Monday, November 30 to conclude Week 12 of the 2015 NFL season.
This is the second and last meeting of both teams in the season, with the first one taken by Cleveland, 33-30, in overtime at the M&T Bank Stadium during Week 5.
Baltimore is coming off a low-scoring 16-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams last Sunday also at their home field, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
It was a highly costly game for the Ravens as they lost starting quarterback Joe Flacco for the season with a torn left ACL while starting running back Justin Forsett left the game in the first period with a broken right forearm.
Meanwhile, the Browns were thrashed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-9, at the Heinz Field in Week 10 before going on a bye week, as per ESPN. It was Cleveland fifth straight loss and eighth for the season.
Starting quarterback Josh McCown is also sidelined with injured ribs at the moment, but head coach Mike Pettine is reportedly starting Austin Davis against the Ravens over Johnny Manziel, who had performed poorly in their defeat to the Steelers.
Without their top two offensive weapons in Flacco and Forsett, Baltimore will need to gut up to be able to put any points on the board.
Playing at home, the odds are in favor of Cleveland to halt their losing skid against the injury-plagued Ravens.
Prediction: Browns win, 21-7.
