The Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off in a Saturday NFL Week 3 preseason game at Raymond James Stadium. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

Baltimore Ravens Betting Preview

The Ravens watched their 24 game preseason winning streak come to an end in the final seconds against the Commanders. The Ravens scored the first points and had an 8-point lead in the fourth quarter, but still ended up on the losing end. In the Raven’s most recent effort, Josh Jonson threw for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Anthony Brown had 40 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. Anthony Brown led the Ravens with 37 rushing yards on 4 carries, while Charlie Kolar and Zay Flowers combined for 98 receiving yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Jeremy Lucien led the Ravens with 7 tackles, Jeremiah Moon had 1 sack and Tae Hayes had 1 interception. The Ravens can probably now play a little more free with the preseason winning streak ended. The Ravens previously hadn’t lost a preseason game since September 2015. The Ravens have scored 20 or more points in 6 of their last 7 preseason games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Preview

The Buccaneers improve to 1-1 in preseason action with a win over the Jets. The Bucs defense pitched a shutout in 3 of the 4 quarters. In the Buccaneer’s most recent effort, Kyle Trask threw for 218 yards and 1 touchdown, while John Wolford had 57 passing yards on 4 completions. Sean Tucker led the Buccaneers with 37 rushing yards on 7 carries, while Rakim Jarrett and Trey Palmer combined for 117 receiving yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Ulysees Gilbert led the Buccaneers with 8 tackles, Anthony Nelson had 1 tackle for loss and Dee Delaney had 1 interception. The Buccaneers have losses in 6 of their last 8 preseason games, and they’re one of those teams that haven questions across the board. Jobs should be on the line on both sides of the ball, so this game is still important to a team like the Buccaneers.

Trends

The Buccaneers are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 2-13-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The under is 11-4 in Ravens last 15 games overall. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The road team is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

The Ravens may have finally lost a game, but they’ve still won 24 of their last 25 preseason efforts, and that should be considered and respected. I’m still not looking to step in front of the Ravens in these meaningless games. The Buccaneers aren’t a good team on paper, and they haven’t had much preseason success over the years. There’s a lot of roster turnover and things that make the final preseason game a complete toss up. Have to go with history in this matchup. Give me the team that’s won all but one of its preseason games over the last 8 years.
