The NFL campaign is getting closer while we enjoy the preseason, and this time, we will have an interesting duel between the Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Ravens had a great regular season and lost in the conference finals to the Kansas City Chiefs.
On the other hand, the Eagles did not finish the season in a great way and were widely beaten in the first game of the playoffs by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Why Bet on the Ravens?
It was a very good season for the Baltimore Ravens, but they were not able to finish with the title. They were the best in the American Football Conference with 13 wins and four losses, one in the last game of the regular phase when they were qualified and used substitutes.
In the playoffs, they crushed the Houston Texans 34-10 but lost in the conference final to the Kansas City Chiefs, the future champions, 17-10. It was a great season for Lamar Jackson, but the quarterback lost to Patrick Mahomes and could not take the club to the Super Bowl.
For this season, the Ravens selected Nate Wiggins, a cornerback from Clemson, in their first pick of the 2024 Draft, while Roger Rosengarten (offensive tackle) was chosen in the second round. Among the important additions for this season, we can highlight Derrick Henry. The running back had a good season with the Tennessee Titans and will look to regain the level that made him win the title of offensive player of the year in 2020.
Although in preseason games, especially in the first one, teams do not put their best players, something that coach John Harbaugh has had throughout his career is that he lives these games with intensity, and he has a 44-14 record with the Ravens in this type of matches.
Why Bet on the Eagles?
The Philadelphia Eagles thought they could improve on what they did two seasons ago when they reached the Super Bowl, but a poor finish to the season ended up eliminating them. The Eagles had a record of 11-6, but five of those losses came in their last six games. They entered the playoffs and in the first game, they were crushed 32-9 by the Buccaneers.
Undoubtedly, it was a hard blow for the team and their fans, who will try again to maintain a more constant rhythm that will allow them to reach the postseason in a better way and fight until the end.
Among the hard news were the retirements of Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox, who played their entire careers with the team for 13 and 12 years, respectively, both being Super Bowl LII champions.
Their first pick in the draft was cornerback Quinyon Mitchell who comes from the University of Toledo, while among the important reinforcements, we have running back Saquon Barkley, who comes from the New York Giants in exchange for 37.5 million dollars, defensive back Bryce Huff (New York Jets) who signed for three years and 51.1 million dollars, and safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson, who comes from the Detroit Lions and secured 27 million dollars.
Final Betting Analysis: Ravens vs. Eagles
The last time these teams met was in preseason as well and almost exactly one year ago, on August 12, 2023, in the same stadium, and the Ravens won by 20-19. The Baltimore team has four wins in a row against this opponent, two in the regular season and two in the preseason.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have the Eagles as favorites. Their Moneyline shows 1.83 and the Ravens have 2.0.
A preseason game is always a mystery, especially the first one because the coaches want to see new players and they still don’t have their position secured. However, Harbaugh’s record in this type of game is impressive, so we will lean towards the Ravens.
Go for a win for the Ravens. If you bet $100 at 2.0, you will gain $100 for a total payout of $200.
