Special teams: : The key is whether the Ravens can contain Browns returner Joshua Cribbs, who led the NFL with a 30.7-yard average on kickoffs last season. Ravens returner Yamon Figurs is also dangerous, but he has been slowed recently by a hamstring injury. Ravens special teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo, who is probable, has missed practice all week with a calf injury. The Ravens' Matt Stover had a miss in the season opener but is the third-most-accurate kicker in NFL history (83.6 percent). The Browns' Phil Dawson is fourth (82.9 percent). EDGE: EVEN:
Intangibles: : The Browns' confidence has taken a hit after losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers - both at home. Cleveland had lost four straight in Baltimore before winning last season on a late field goal. The Ravens are the fresher team after last Sunday's game was postponed because of Hurricane Ike. Dating to 2003, the Ravens are 12-4 against AFC North teams at home. EDGE: RAVENS:
Prediction: : Ailing offenses rarely get better against the Ravens, who are beginning to flex their muscles once again defensively. Turnovers will lead to some easy scoring opportunities for the offense and pave the way to a second straight win in the AFC North. RAVENS, 20-13:
