The Ravens are slight underdogs ahead of their rematch Sunday with the host Cleveland Browns, according to Las Vegas sportsbooks.

The Ravens (8-4) have entered their past eight games as favorites, but after falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night and losing star cornerback Marlon Humphrey to a season-ending pectoral injury, it’s the Browns (6-6) who are favored by 2 ½ points in their Week 14 game.

The Ravens held on late in the teams’ first meeting this season, a 16-10 win in Baltimore two weeks ago, but Cleveland should have a rest advantage this weekend. Because the Browns had a Week 13 bye, Sunday’s game will be their second straight against the Ravens, who will have to face standout defensive ends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney without injured starting right tackle Patrick Mekari (hand).

The Ravens have covered the spread in two of their six road games this season: a 23-7 win in Week 4 over a favored Denver Broncos team and a 16-13 comeback win in Week 12 over the Chicago Bears. Cleveland, meanwhile, is 4-2 at home this season, but just 2-4 against the spread.

The Ravens lead the all-time series 34-11 and have won four straight meetings, their longest winning streak since a five-game run from 2015 to 2017. The Browns’ last home win over the Ravens came in October 2018, when Joe Flacco was still the Ravens’ starting quarterback.

The over-under for Sunday’s game is 42 ½ points.

ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis Police officer hired to work security on his off-duty hours lied on his timesheets and bilked his employer and city taxpayers of tens of thousands of dollars over a two-year period.

Officer Brad Stephens pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of mail fraud. He’ll be sentenced on March 11, 2022.

According to the plea agreement, Stephens had worked for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department since Oct. 2014. Beginning in 2015, he dedicated some of his off-duty time to working for City Wide Security, a private company that contracts with local businesses and organizations to provide security patrols in the Tower Grove South neighborhood.

Stephens filed false documentation regarding his hours worked. In 2018, Stephens falsely represented that he worked 93 days. In 2019, Stephens falsely claimed that he worked 76 days. All told, CWS received $50,000 from businesses and organizations in Tower Grove South for all the hours Stephens claimed to have worked.
