The Washington Commanders (0-2) wrap up their preseason schedule with a road game against the Baltimore Ravens (2-0) and their 22-game preseason winning streak. They face each other Saturday night with a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium, airing only regionally in both teams’ home markets. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Ravens odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Commanders have lost both preseason contests this year, falling 23-21 to the Carolina Panthers and then 24-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Washington turned the ball over twice against the Panthers and once against the Chiefs but did not force a turnover defensively in either game. Their starters will get only limited work in the preseason finale.
The Ravens have not lost a preseason game since 2015. They beat the Tennessee Titans 23-10 in their opener and the Arizona Cardinals 24-17 last week. QB Lamar Jackson has yet to play in the preseason.

Commanders at Ravens picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 27, Commanders 17
Money line
PASS on the money line. The Ravens take their preseason games seriously and have a culture of winning in the locker room. The Commanders are winless in the preseason so far.
But there is far too much juice to pick the Ravens to win outright, while it seems unwise to bet the Commanders.
Against the spread
The Ravens are 2-0 in the preseason and covered the spread in both games. They have not allowed more than 17 points to any team. They have beaten both preseason opponents each by a touchdown.
The Commanders have seen both preseason opponents score 23 or more points.
Take the RAVENS -5.5 (-117).

Over/Under
The Commanders have had both opponents this preseason score at least 23 points in each game.
The Ravens have not allowed more than 17 points through 2 preseason contests. They have scored 23 and 24 points in their 2 games.
I LEAN OVER 39.5 (-105).
