Ravens vs Commanders Prediction
In their previous meeting last season, the Ravens won 30-23 at home, pushing the -7-point spread, as the game went over the 50.5-point total. The Ravens are 3-2 in their 5 meetings against the Commanders, both teams are tied 1-1 wins in Washington, and the Commanders are 2-0-2 against the spread in their last 4 meetings. Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.
In this Ravens vs Commanders Prediction, the Ravens are coming as -2.5-point road favorites. Both teams are looking completely different in their two preseason games so far, as the Ravens have won both matches and average 10 points more offensively and 25 less defensively by the Commanders. There is no need to overthink this, as the Ravens are looking superior right now, so I will gladly lay the points on the road in this one.
