In the second preseason game for both teams, the Baltimore Ravens (1-0) travel to take on the Carolina Panthers (0-1) Saturday. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m. ET and will be held at Bank of America Stadium. Below, we look at the Ravens at Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
Neither team played its star player in the preseason opener. With two weeks of exhibition play remaining, there’s hope that some high-profile names may get their first appearance.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was set to play a series last week but was instead held out of the team’s preseason opener. RB J.K. Dobbins played a series but produced zero yards on three carries.
Little should be expected of both Baltimore stars in the team’s second preseason game, but it’d also be surprising if either were held out.
Fans may also get to see Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey for the first time. He was also held out last week but has been practicing at full strength. The Panthers lost their opening game 21-18 to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Ravens are -180 favorites on the money line which means, if they win, you’ll get $100 for every $180 you place.
Those odds also signify the Ravens have a 64.29% win probability. They need to win by 4 or more points to cover the -3.5-point spread, which will give better odds at higher risk for those backing Baltimore.
On the other side of the ball, the Panthers are +145 on the money line which indicates a win probability of 40.82%. They’re the underdogs, so placing $100 would net $145 in profit or a total return of $245. For the Panthers to cover the spread, they’d need to win or lose by no more than 3 points.
For the Over 35.5 to hit, there would need to be at least 36 points scored by the two teams. For Under bettors to win, there would need to be 35 or fewer scored.
