Why Bet on the Packers?
After their 23-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, the Packers were dealt a tough blow when they were crushed by the Denver Broncos 27-2 last Sunday. Zach Morton sacked Zach Wilson for a safety and the only two points.
Without Jordan Love, Michael Pratt went 10-to-16 with 52 yards while Sean Clifford went 6-to-10 with 43 yards. Without a doubt, it was a very bad game for the whole team. Emanuel Wilson had the most rushing yards (13), while Malik Heath caught the most passes (3), gaining 22 yards.
Coach Matt LaFleur was not hard on his players and assured that they gave their all in the last game, but they made many mistakes that cost them points. However, he didn’t appoint the roster for this match.
It should be remembered that the Packers were eliminated last year in the Divisional Playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers.
Why Bet on the Ravens?
The Baltimore Ravens bounced back from their opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the Atlanta Falcons 13-12 last weekend. Owen Wright and Dayton Wade, both of whom hope to make the main team, scored touchdowns.
It was a great game by the quarterbacks, especially Josh Johnson, who went 11-to-11 with 120 yards and a touchdown. For his part, Emory Jones was 7-to-9 with 100 yards and another touchdown. Devin Leary, who came from the University of Kentucky, went 3-to-5.
Defensively there are several young players to highlight, including Beau Brade, who had eight tackles, Yvandy Rigby with seven, and Deion Jennings with five.
Last season’s MVP, Lamar Jackson, has yet to play this preseason, and it is expected that he may get some action this Saturday, especially after he was the center of attention at joint practice by arriving on a bicycle, as Ravens tradition dictates, and also by reconnecting with his friend and college teammate, Jaire Alexander.
Final Betting Analysis: Packers vs. Ravens
The last time they met was on December 19, 2021, for the regular season and the Packers won as visitors by 31-30, while the last time they played for preseason was on August 15, 2019, and the Ravens won 26-13.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have the Packers as favorites. Their Moneyline shows 1.63 and the Ravens have 2.35.
It will be a great game between two teams that aspire to return to the playoffs. We believe that the Baltimore Ravens have a better team, but, after the tough defeat suffered by the Green Bay Packers, the fact of playing at home, and the amount of substitutes in both teams, we believe that the locals will take the victory.
Go for a win for the Packers. If you bet $100 at 1.63, you will gain $63 for a total payout of $163.
