Eagles (16-3 last season) vs Ravens (10-7 last year)
Philadelphia Eagles vs Baltimore Ravens August 12, 2023 — The Philadelphia Eagles surpassed expectations in 2022, making it to Super Bowl LVII where they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs 38–35. The Eagles had a 14-3 record during the previous regular season and were third in the NFL in terms of points scored and allowed with 28.1 per game. Most of the Eagles’ starters, including Jalen Hurts, won’t participate in the preseason. Marcus Mariota, a former first-round choice, will start quarterback for the Eagles in Baltimore on Saturday. In the 13 games Mariota played for the Atlanta Falcons last season, he passed for 2,219 yards, 15 TDs, and 9 picks.
The Baltimore Ravens had a 10-7 record in 2022 and were second in the AFC North, only behind the Cincinnati Bengals, who beat them 24-17 in the wild-card round. Lamar Jackson sustained a season-ending injury in Week 13, but even without their greatest player, the Ravens almost pulled off an upset in the playoffs. Last season, Baltimore averaged 20.6 points per game, ranking 19th in the league. With 112 carries for 764 yards and three touchdowns, Lamar Jackson set the pace for the Ravens, who were second in the league regarding rushing yards per game (160.0).

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and Ravens QB Tyler Huntley
Jalen Hurts threw for 3,701 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just six interceptions in 15 games (a 14-1-0 record) while also running for 760 yards and 13 scores on 165 occasions. Miles Sanders, a running back who turned 26 in the summer and signed with the Carolina Panthers, racked up 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns on 259 carries. The Eagles’ backfield is still full of promise after Philadelphia acquired D’Andre Swift from Detroit. He will go off against Rashaad Penny, Boston Scott, and Kenneth Gainwell for the starting spot.
Tyler Huntley started four games during the most recent regular season and completed passes for 658 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Huntley completed 67.0% of his pass attempts while carrying the ball 43 times for 137 yards and a score. He should start as QB with Josh Johnson and Anthony Brown taking their turns as play-callers.
Odds/Point Spread: Philadelphia Eagles +6, Total Odds: 36
The Ravens will struggle against the Eagles by seven or more points since both teams will run the ball a lot in this game. This season, Philadelphia’s defense should be among the best in the NFL, and the Eagles’ backups will be eager to establish their value. The Eagles selected five defensive players in the spring’s draft, and come August, they’ll aim to develop chemistry.
Even though the Ravens dominated the preseason, take the Eagles +6.0. It’s absurd that Baltimore has won 23 straight preseason games without a loss. Additionally, the Ravens have an 11-1 ATS record over their last 12 preseason games. The Eagles, on the other hand, have a 3-7-1 SU and ATS record in their previous 11 preseason games.
