Analyzing the Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers Preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens (1-0) play the Carolina Panthers (0-1) Saturday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ravens vs. Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Ravens opened their preseason with a solid 17-14 win and cover against the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 1. QB Tyler Huntley scored on a 7-yard touchdown run with 6:35 left in regulation and they converted a two-point conversion for the cover.

The Panthers were dumped 21-18 on the road against the Indianapolis Colts in their preseason opener. Indianapolis capped an 11-point fourth quarter by hitting the game-winning field goal with seven seconds remaining.

Ravens at Panthers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 19, Ravens 15

Money line

The PANTHERS (+155) are worth a look at home. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn’t committed to using QB Lamar Jackson in this one while the Panthers are expected to see the debut of QB Sam Darnold. That would be a huge advantage.

Baltimore has won 18 consecutive preseason games dating back to Sept. 3, 2015, but that streak is in jeopardy against the likes of Darnold and QB P.J. Walker, both of whom should be able to move the ball nicely.

Against the spread

If you’re not feeling the home side straight up then PANTHERS +3.5 (-115) is quite attractive.

The Panthers played well on the road in Indianapolis and only lost due to their reverses being outplayed in the final quarter. They’ll play the starters longer in this one and head coach Matt Rhule will expect much better results in front of the home fans.

Over/Under

UNDER 35.5 (-110) is the way to go. The Under cashed in 13 of the 16 preseason games in the opening weekend of exhibition play, so keep going in that direction until further notice.

New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens preseason Week 1 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens host the New Orleans Saints Saturday for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium as both teams begin their 2021 preseason schedule. Below, we look at the Saints at Ravens odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

All eyes are on the quarterback battle for New Orleans as Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill are set to compete to see who will replace Drew Brees under center in Week 1. Both players are expected to see time on the field Saturday.

The Baltimore roster doesn’t have the same level of intrigue heading into the preseason opener. QB Lamar Jackson will start in Week 1 of the regular season but isn’t expected to play Saturday after a recent stint on the NFL’s COVID-19 list. QBs Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley will compete for the backup job.

Saints at Ravens odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 17, Saints 13

Money line

The RAVENS (-140) have won 17 straight preseason games and are the team to back again against the new-look Saints.

New Orleans figures to have the motivation edge as Winston and Hill battle to be the starting QB in week 1, but the trend for Baltimore clearly favors head coach John Harbaugh as he gets a good look at his depth players at the bottom of the roster. McSorley got a taste of game action in 2020 and should get a long look Saturday.

Against the spread

Roll with the RAVENS -2.5 (-125) for a win by 3 or more points. All four of their preseason wins in 2019 were decided by 11 or more points. McSorley was the team’s top passer in each game.

Over/Under

Side with the UNDER 36.5 (-115) as it has been the trend across the NFL early in the preseason. All three of Friday’s games finished with a combined point total of 35 or fewer points.

New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines: Ravens slight home favorites

Explaining the odds and lines for the 2021 NFL preseason opener for the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens play host to the New Orleans Saints Saturday at 7 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium as both teams begin their 2021 preseason schedule. Below, we look at the Saints at Ravens odds and lines.

The Saints are beginning a new era without QB Drew Brees after the future Hall of Famer retired following the 2020 campaign. QBs Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston will battle this preseason to be his heir, while the team also used a fourth-round pick on QB Ian Book.

Former MVP QB Lamar Jackson remains at the helm of the Ravens offense, but he isn’t expected to see much, if any, time Saturday. QBs Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley will battle to back him up in the regular season.

The Ravens (-155) are slight favorites at home. They have an implied win probability of 60.78% and the money line odds can also be expressed as a decimal of 1.65 or a fraction of 20/31. Baltimore would need to win by 3 or more points in order to cover the spread.

New Orleans’ implied win probability is 44.44% as a short road underdog. It can cover the spread by losing by 1 or 2 points, tying or winning outright in a small upset.

There would need to be at least 37 points scored by the two teams for a bet on the Over 36.5 to cash. The Ravens and Saints combining to score 36 or fewer points is a win for Under bettors.

Ravens at Titans: Game notes

The Ravens are rolling into the postseason on a five-game winning streak, four of which by at least 14 points, including a 38-3 trouncing of the Bengals in Cincinnati as 13.5-point favorites in Week 17. Baltimore’s ground game trampled the Bengals for 404 rushing yards on 54 carries with 2 touchdowns. That was the fourth game in the last five the Ravens have rushed for at least 231 yards.
Baltimore’s gambling records: 10-6 ATS and 7-9 O/U.
The Titans finished their season by clinching the AFC South after beating the Houston Texans 41-38 as 7-point road favorites behind a record-setting day from Derrick Henry who became the eighth NFL player to join the 2,000-rushing-yards club. Henry rushed for a franchise-record 250 yards in Week 17 to end the season with 2,027 rushing yards.
Tennessee’s gambling records: 7-9 ATS and 12-3-1 O/U.
This is the third Ravens-Titans game in nearly a calendar year with Tennessee winning both in Baltimore including in last year’s AFC Divisional Round (28-12 as 10-point underdogs) and in Week 11 this season (a 30-24 overtime win as 6-point ‘dogs).

Ravens at Titans: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 34, Titans 17

Money line (?)

If Lamar Jackson loses again to the Titans, it would make his career record 30-10 (including the playoffs) and three of those losses would’ve come vs. Tennessee, two in the postseason. It would be crazy for Tennessee to have that much of an edge over a QB whose future is as bright as Lamar’s.

But, despite the recent head-to-head history, this is such a good matchup for the Ravens offense. Unless the Titans have cast some sort of magic spell on Baltimore, the Ravens should have a lot of success on offense.

The Titans are last in third-down defense, 30th in red zone scoring percentage, last in sack rate, 29th in Football Outsiders’ defensive DVOA and 28th in net time of possession. The Ravens are nearly as formidable on offense as last year’s record-setting Ravens team with MVP Lamar.

TAKE RAVENS (-175) to advance.

Against the spread (?)

You could make an argument that last year’s Ravens-Titans game in the AFC Division Round would’ve gone differently if TE Mark Andrews is able to haul in pass that hit his hands on Baltimore’s opening drive and ended up being an interception and if the Ravens convert a fourth-and-short on their second drive.

In this year’s meeting, Baltimore was without the heart of its rush defense. DT Brandon Williams, free-agent acquisition DE Calais Campbell and Baltimore’s best run defending LB L.J. Fort were all sidelined with an injury in the Ravens’ Week 11 loss to the Titans.

Baltimore acquired Campbell specifically to address the Derrick Henry-specific issue the Ravens’ rush defense had in last year’s playoff loss, and the least-discussed factor of this game is Baltimore’s defense being its healthiest.

GIMME RAVENS -3.5 (+100). Since the Ravens-Titans is hovering around the key number of 3, wait till closer to kickoff to see if you can get a flat-3. Also, my preference is to lay the points with Baltimore rather than take the money line, but either is fine.

Special Tennessee Betting Promotion:

Bet $1 on the Tennessee Titans money line, WIN $100 (in free bets) in your account if Titans RB Derrick Henry rushes for at least 10 yards during this week’s matchup. Place your legal, online sports bets in Tennessee at BetMGM. New customer offer, terms and conditions apply. Bet now!

Over/Under (?)

Both teams want to be physical and run the ball, which keeps the clock moving, one thing that helps cash Unders. Also, people see how Baltimore’s offense has been playing recently and Tennessee’s has all season and figure we’ll have a high-octane Ravens-Titans shootout.

Again, the Ravens have the 10th-highest net in time of possession, and if Baltimore gets out to a lead, my read is they’ll take the air out of the ball and try to keep a potent Titans’ offense on the sidelines.

I lean UNDER 54.5 (-110) for a half-unit.

Ravens at Bengals: Game notes

The Ravens will clinch a wild-card berth with a victory, or they’ll need either of the Cleveland Browns or Indianapolis Colts to lose.
Baltimore comes in on a four-game winning streak with three of those victories coming by at least a 14-point margin. They toppled the New York Giants 27-13 last week.
The Bengals have won back-to-back games after snapping a five-game losing skid. They beat the Houston Texans 37-31 on the road last week.
The Bengals and Ravens met in Week 5 in Baltimore with the hosts earning a 27-3 victory. The Ravens have won four straight against the Bengals and swept the 2019 head-to-head series.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, the 2019 MVP, has thrown for 2,644 yards and 23 touchdowns against eight interceptions through 14 games. He has another 908 yards and 7 touchdowns as a runner.
Cincinnati QB Brandon Allen has completed 69.42% of his passes for 877 yards and 5 touchdowns against 2 interceptions in place of injured rookie QB Joe Burrow. Ryan Finley started the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers but needed to throw for just 89 yards and a single score.

Ravens at Bengals: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 35, Bengals 14

Money line (?)

The Ravens (-800) will win this comfortably and book their ticket back to the playoffs but there’s no sense in betting such a chalky number.

PASS and make it somewhat of a challenge on the spread.

Against the spread (?)

The Ravens will get into the playoffs and will strike some fear in next week’s opponent with a statement win over the lowly Bengals. Baltimore was hurt by COVID-19 issues earlier this season, but it has returned to form just in time.

Back the RAVENS -13 (-110) to win by at least 14 points in the regular-season finale before looking for their first playoff win since 2014.

Over/Under (?)

The Ravens may not risk injury to key starters after building an early lead but Jackson’s proximity to 1,000 rushing yards for the season is notable. The former MVP could look to pad his stats against a Bengals defense allowing 131.1 rushing yards per game.

Take the OVER 43.5 (-110).

The Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last five games, covering in their last four games.
The Under has hit in each of the last six games involving the Giants.

Because the Giants are often huge underdogs, they are actually 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games.
The Ravens are 9-0 on the ML in their last nine games against NFC opponents.

Giants at Ravens: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 34, Giants 10

Money line (?)

The Ravens are likely going to blow out the Giants, but their -600 ML price is too steep for such little return. AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

Seeing as we’re picking the Ravens to win by 24 points, laying10.5 points isn’t that big a stretch despite the fact the Giants have covered most of their big spreads this season. The Ravens are hitting their stride offensively. Take the RAVENS -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

The O/U 43.5 seems low. This is a difficult bet because the Giants could have trouble doing their part and scoring the 10 points that might be necessary to hit the Over. The Ravens will come close to hitting the Over themselves, so, with some hesitation, take the OVER 43.5 (-110).

Jaguars at Ravens: Game notes

The Ravens have won back-to-back games following a three-game losing skid that coincided with a myriad of COVID-19 issues throughout the roster.
The Jaguars will turn back to QB Gardner Minshew for the Week 15 start. He hasn’t started since Week 7 but has completed 65.1% of his passes for 2,033 yards and 14 touchdowns against 5 interceptions through eight games, including seven starts.
Baltimore has won six games by at least 13 points, as it’ll need to do in order to cover the spread in Week 15. The Ravens are 7-6 ATS this season and win by an average of 6.9 points per game.
Jacksonville is 6-7 ATS while losing by an average of 9.4 PPG. The Jags have lost by at least 13 points five times.
The Jaguars have run the highest percentage of pass plays this season but also rank eighth in yards per rush. The Ravens are No. 1 in yards per rush and team rushing yards per game.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, the unanimous 2019 MVP, has completed 63.9% of his passes for 2,218 yards and 18 touchdowns against 7 interceptions on the year. He has added 793 rushing yards and six scores on the ground while being limited to 12 games by the aforementioned COVID concerns.
Jaguars RB James Robinson, an undrafted free agent, has been their star this season. He has four 100-yard games and a total of 1,035 yards with 7 touchdowns on his rookie season, all while playing for a 1-12 team.
Ravens WRs Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin were placed on the COVID-19 list this week as a result of contact-tracing, but they could play this week if they test negative.

Jaguars at Ravens: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 34, Jaguars 16

Money line (?)

The Ravens (-800) will win, but please don’t risk more than eight times your potential return. If you’re really keen, you could turn $10 into $11 with an outright win by the home team.

The best play is to PASS and bet the Ravens on the spread while laying 12.5 points.

Against the spread (?)

The RAVENS -12.5 (-110) are back on track following consecutive wins and will keep it rolling with or without the players on the above injury and COVID lists.

Whether intentionally or not, the Jags are competing for the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Ravens are clawing their way back to the 2020 playoffs.

Over/Under (?)

The Ravens will score enough to send this one to the OVER 47.5 (-105). The return of Minshew also inspires more hope in the Jags being able to tack on a couple of late scores, either for themselves or the Ravens defense.

Ravens at Browns: Game notes

The Browns were curb-stomped in Week 1 against the Ravens in Baltimore, falling 38-6 as 7-point underdogs as the Under (47) connected. Cleveland has posted a 9-2 straight up and 5-6 ATS mark in its 11 games since.
The past three games in Cleveland have each had weather issues, with wintry mix conditions in Week 8 and Week 10, and a steady shield of cold rain in Week 11 holding scores down. Precipitation won’t be an issue on Monday night, but temperatures will be around 30 degrees with a northwest wind off of Lake Erie blowing 20-30 mph which will likely affect the passing game for both sides.
With a strong, cold wind we are likely to see a mostly ground-based attack for both sides. The Browns rank second in the NFL with 157.8 rushing yards per game, and they’re eighth against the run with 104.3 yards per game allowed. The Ravens are No. 1 in the league with 169.0 rushing yards per game, and they yield just 111.6 yards per game on the ground to rank 13th in the league.
The Under is 8-2 in Baltimore’s past 10 against AFC foes, and 6-2 in the previous eight on the road. In addition, the Under is 4-1 in their past five road games against a team with a winning overall mark.
The Under is 10-4 in Cleveland’s past 14 as an underdog while cashing in six of their past eight against teams with a winning record. The Under is also 3-1-1 in Cleveland’s last five appearances on MNF. In addition, the Under is 6-2 in the past eight in this series, including the first installment this season in Week 1.

Ravens at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 23, Browns 19

Money line (?)

The RAVENS (-170) aren’t a bad play at this price point. While the Browns (+135) are a totally different team this season, guaranteed of a winning record for once, they haven’t fared very well against the top teams in the AFC North.

They have lost their two games against the Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers this season by a combined score of 76-13. Unfortunately, until they start beating the good teams on a regular basis, there is always doubt about their legitimacy.

Against the spread (?)

The RAVENS -3.5 (-105) will likely keep it on the ground for a majority of the night with those icy winds blowing off of Lake Erie. That’s just fine for the league’s No. 1 rushing team.

They ran roughshod over the Dallas Cowboys last week in a 34-17 win, piling up 294 yards, including 94 from QB Lamar Jackson, who has no problem tucking it and booking.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 45.5 (-110) is the best play on the board here. The winds will be gusting, the passes and the kicking game will be affected, and we should see a mostly ground-based attack. Running the ball means running the clock, and that’s good news for Under bettors.

Cowboys at Ravens: Game notes

This game was originally scheduled for Thursday Night Football in Week 12 but was pushed back due to the Ravens’ COVID outbreak. Baltimore played the rival Pittsburgh Steelers last Wednesday and lost 19-14 but covered the spread as a 10.5-point underdog.
The Cowboys took a 41-16 loss against the Washington Football Team on Thanksgiving and come into their Week 13 game on 12 days of rest.
Ravens WR Dez Bryant will suit up against his former team for the first time since his release following the end of the 2017 season. He has appeared in three games for the Ravens this year with four catches for 28 yards on seven targets.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is among the players expected to return Tuesday after being activated from the COVID list. Backup Robert Griffin III started against the Steelers and third-string QB Trace McSorley threw a late touchdown to WR Marquise Brown for the ATS cover.
Baltimore and Dallas rank 20th and 22nd, respectively, in yards per play on offense. The Ravens are fifth in opponent yards allowed per play while the Cowboys are 25th.
Dallas is 31st in the NFL with a minus-13 turnover differential (10 takeaways, 23 giveaways), Baltimore has a plus-3 differential (17 takeaways, 14 giveaways).

Cowboys at Ravens: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 27, Cowboys 13

Money line (?)

Jackson fronts the Ravens returning group of players this week after a strong defensive performance nearly carried Baltimore to what would have been a shocking upset of the still-undefeated Steelers. The Ravens (-358) will have more than enough offensive firepower for a convincing win to get them back on track and in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot.

While it’s a relatively safe play, the -385 price tag is too chalky and not worth the risk. PASS and focus on the spread.

Against the spread (?)

Take the RAVENS -7.5 (-105) to win by at least 8 points. They’re just 5-6 against the spread through 11 games, but they win by 6.2 points per game. The Cowboys are a league-worst 2-9 ATS and lose by 9.8 PPG.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 44.5 (-105) with both teams likely to be slow-starting due to the schedule changes. The strong Ravens defense should also be able to contain Dalton and the ‘Boys after holding the Steelers to 19 points in a loss last week.
