Falcons at Ravens picks and predictions
Prediction
Falcons 23, Ravens 20
Moneyline
BET FALCONS (+100).
As it stands, the Falcons have a deeper QB room headed into Week 2. While QB Nathan Rourke, who returned to the CFL this week, will impact their depth, the Falcons and Penix looked decent in their opener. Baltimore will be limiting QB Lamar Jackson‘s play during the preseason which impacts the schematics and limits the playmakers, which gives the Falcons the advantage on Saturday afternoon.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is better value on the moneyline for Atlanta.
Over/Under
BET OVER 35.5 (-110).
While both teams scored 13 points in their respective openers, that is promising for the Over. Both sides showed their early abilities to move the ball down the field and produce points. In Week 2, when teams are starting to settle in and face each other in practice, expect more points. The Ravens have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4 preseason games.
