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.
