This MNF Game Picks kicks off at 8:40 PM ET (5:40 PM PT) and it can be seen live in high definition on ESPN. According to MNF Game Picks experts at Bodog.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns contest has been set at a combined total of 39 points scored. 
The visiting Ravens come into this game desperate for a win against a team offensively challenged. The last time Baltimore’s defense got a shot at the anemic Browns offense, the Ravens were flying high and feeling very good, as they were 3-0 in Week 3. But everything has changed since then, as Baltimore has dropped 4 of its last 5 contests and is now in danger of falling completely out of the playoff picture in the AFC.
"As we sit here and take a look at where we're going, first of all, it starts with me," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. "It's my job to give our guys every opportunity to play as well as they can play, and I've got to find a way to do my job better. I think every person in the building feels that way right now."
Opportunity to play is something quarterback Brady Quinn had and got taken away to start this NFL season against these same Ravens. Against this defense, the former Notre Dame standout went 6/8 for 34 yards and an interception, as he was benched after the first half for Derek Anderson.
Nevertheless Anderson has been just awful after Eric Mangini gave the nod, recording the lowest rating for any QB in the league (36.2). Thus, Mangini has decided to stick with Quinn for the rest of the season, he hopes. "He's had good weeks of practice," Mangini said. "He's worked hard since the first transition was made. I look forward to him taking advantage of this opportunity and helping us improve."
Needless to say that this is going to be quiet a test for Quinn, as he faces a desperate Ravens team. "I'm excited to play," Quinn said. "I'm excited to be a part of Monday night. Every team in the NFL is tough, them especially. We've got our hands full right now."
But will Quinn’s comeback be enough to pull off this highly unlikely upset? Now so fast! By taking a closer look at the numbers, you can see a very completing story when these teams are matchup on paper:
