SportsLine's self-learning artificial intelligence model has projected a 23-16 victory for the Baltimore Ravens over the Cleveland Browns in NFL Week 6.
The forecast comes as Baltimore leads the AFC North with a 4-1 record, while Cleveland prepares to face its division rival without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson was ruled out Friday because of an ankle injury, according to the source.
How the Model Works
According to SportsLine, the model evaluates historical team performance and opposing defensive strength to generate predictions for each game.
Its analysis incorporates the latest available data and assigns numerical matchup scores to assess team strengths.
Baltimore enters the matchup with a one-game lead over Cleveland, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North standings.
The projected result favors the Ravens despite Jackson's absence from the lineup.
Tyler Huntley is expected to take over at quarterback for Baltimore, marking his third game of the season.
According to the source's statistics, Huntley has completed 78% of his passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns.
Huntley has also won each of his last three starts, recording five total touchdowns without a turnover during that stretch.
Running back Derrick Henry remains another key contributor to Baltimore's offense.
Henry has recorded 476 rushing yards on 113 carries through five games, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt.
He has also scored seven rushing touchdowns, according to the reported statistics.
Cleveland's offense has been led by quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has completed 64.2% of his passes for 1,010 yards and seven touchdowns, with two interceptions.
Running back Quinshon Judkins leads the Browns' rushing attack.
Judkins has carried the ball 73 times for 221 yards, averaging 3.0 yards per attempt, and has scored one touchdown.
Those figures provide the statistical backdrop for the model's forecast against Baltimore.
Beyond the Ravens-Browns matchup, Week 6 features several divisional contests, including the Houston Texans against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, the New York Jets against the New England Patriots, and the Tennessee Titans against the Indianapolis Colts.
Other notable games include the Arizona Cardinals facing the Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Chargers meeting the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Carolina Panthers taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The teams previously played to a 40-40 tie last season in a Sunday night game, according to the source.
