Why Bet on the Ravens?
In their preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Ravens faced challenges, particularly on the offensive side, which ultimately resulted in their defeat.
Despite a late push in the fourth quarter in which they managed to score a touchdown, the Ravens were unable to overcome their earlier struggles and came up short, with a final score of 13-16 in favor of the Eagles.
The Ravens faced difficulties moving the ball through the air effectively, with Devin Leary completing 6 of 10 passes for 37 yards and Josh Johnson connecting on 4 of 12 passes for 62 yards. Running back Owen Wright contributed 33 yards on seven attempts on the ground.
Why Bet on the Falcons?
In the opening preseason matchup, the Falcons faced the Miami Dolphins and suffered a 20-13 loss.
Despite holding a 10-3 lead at the end of the first quarter, the Falcons couldn’t maintain their lead as their defense gave up 14 points in the second quarter, which ultimately proved to be the turning point of the game. While Kirk Cousins was absent from the lineup for the first game, Michael Penix Jr had considerable playing time, throwing for 9-of-16 passing for 104 yards.
Taylor Heinicke and Nathan Rourke also saw action at quarterback but struggled to find success. Carlos Washington managed to score a touchdown on the ground but was limited to 25 yards on 16 carries.
Leading the receiving corps was Chris Blair , who hauled in two receptions for a total of 45 yards. The aerial game, especially from the quarterbacks following Penix Jr., will need improvement moving forward based on the performance in this game.
Final Betting Analysis: Ravens vs. Falcons
The odds are tilted slightly in favor of the Atlanta Falcons, indicating they have a slight edge over the Ravens and could potentially secure a narrow victory.
The point spread implies a tightly contested matchup, with the low total hinting at the possibility of a defensive battle in which defenses could play a major role in determining the outcome.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors the Ravens at 1.80, while the Falcons start at 1.91.
That said, our prediction for this game is a Ravens victory.
Look for a win for the Ravens. For example, if you put $100 at 1.80, you’ll see a $80.00 success with a total payout of $180.00.
