Ravens vs. Raiders Betting Odds and Free Pick

Baltimore will host a matchup of teams that lost in their NFL regular season opener, as the Ravens will host the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Ravens debuted against the Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions. The Baltimore team was defeated 27-20 as a visitor.

The Raiders also kicked off the campaign away from home and lost 22-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Why Bet on the Baltimore Ravens?

The Baltimore Ravens, like last year, are one of the top candidates to reach the Super Bowl, thanks to the continuity of their work and the roster they have under John Harbaugh.

However, in their first game, they lost 27-20 at Arrowhead Stadium to the Kansas City Chiefs, who eliminated them last year and ended up crowned in the Super Bowl.

It was a hard-fought duel where Baltimore’s tight end Isaiah Likely stood out, completing nine receptions and 111 yards, in addition to scoring on one occasion and coming very close on another on the last play, but his foot stepped on the outside of the field on a very controversial play.

Lamar Jackson even finished with 273 yards passing and no interceptions. The loss can be explained by the fact that, in front of him, was the phenom Patrick Mahomes, who has become his nightmare.

However, among the aspects to improve is that running back Derrick Henry has to show his qualities, as his debut left much to be desired.

Three players might not see action against Las Vegas: Adisa Isaac, Roquan Smith, and Kyle Van Noy.

Why Bet on the Las Vegas Raiders?

The Las Vegas Raiders are an unknown quantity for most experts, and sharing a division with rivals such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Dallas Broncos does not make us think that at the end of the season, they will finish with a smile.

Precisely, their debut was against the Chargers, and they lost 22-10, allowing Justin Herbert to get 144 passing yards for his team and conceding 11 carries to Gus Edwards and 10 to J.K. Dobbins, who even scored on one occasion.

For his part, Garden Minshew completed 25 of 33 passes, with 257 yards, one touchdown pass, and one interception. But there is not much else to highlight, since Zamir White’s 13 carries only amounted to 44 yards.

The Raiders this year bet on giving continuity to Antonio Pierce, thanks to his good finish to the season. However, only the games will tell if this was the right decision for a team that does not seem to have a clear horizon.

Brock Bowers, Divine Deablo, Tommy Eichenberg, Andre James, Kolton Miller, Jackson Powers-Johnson, Decameron Richardson, and Tyree Wilson appear as possible casualties.
