NFL preseason week 3 free pick

How can the Commanders slow down the Ravens? The answer for today is: they can’t.

Baltimore is home against Washington in the final  week of the NFL  preseason. The line is Baltimore -4.5 and the Ravens are -208 if you prefer the money line. The Ravens are simply a better team. They will be testing their new running backs and receivers for speed, continuity and execution of the plays. 

This will be the final game for many of the players tonight, as well as a dress rehearsal for the start of the 2022 - 2023 season in 12 days. Most of the league have their rosters set and the Ravens are very close.

Saturday 8.27 at 7PM ET

Baltimore Ravens Broncos -4.5
Washington Commanders  +4.5
Total: 39 points

John Harbaugh has been Baltimore's head coach for 15 years, knows his team and coaches, and above all else, he likes to win. He has a 22 - 0 winning streak in preseason games and an elite QB in Lamar Jackson. Each year, Harbaugh is seeing Lamar get better. We predict Jackson and the Ravens to go very deep this year.

On the other side of the field, the Washington Commanders have serious holes to fill and, as such, we believe this will not be their year. With Key Injuries starting to mount up and Carson Wentz playing on what many feel will be his last team, Washington will have to be very lucky to get the 8.5 wins this season that oddsmakers predict.

We are going with the Ravens on the money line.
