Ravens vs Packers prediction
My best bet
Under 33.5 (-105 at FanDuel)
My analysis
The Baltimore Ravens have not played any of their starters in the preseason this year and that will continue Saturday. This means Josh Johnson will likely get the start again with rookies Devin Leary and Emory Jones finishing things up in a battle for that third quarterback spot. Against the Falcons last week, all three quarterbacks combined for 21/25 passing for 244 yards and two touchdowns.
Undrafted rookie wide receiver Dayton Wade has been the lead receiver in the first two preseason games as he fights for a roster spot. He had four catches for 27 yards in the first game and two catches for 67 yards and a touchdown last week. He will be the difference-maker on offense for the Ravens.
The Green Bay Packers played their starters in the first week of the preseason and they easily drove for a touchdown on their one possession. That was enough for coach Matt Lafleur, as they did not play last week and will not play again on Saturday. Instead, we will see Sean Clifford with the start before giving way to rookie Michael Pratt. They struggled last week in a 27-2 loss to the Broncos, but Denver did play their starters in that contest.
It will be interesting if we see rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd, but with the injury to AJ Dillon, he may be considered a starter and will not play in this game. Lloyd did not play last week, which is pretty telling. Without Lloyd, the only advantage I give to the Packers in this game is at the receiver position.
As well as the quarterbacks played for the Ravens last week, they still only scored 13 points. Baltimore has only allowed 28 points in two preseason games this year and have yet to surpass 20 points themselves in a game. With a lot of backups and not a ton of talent out there, I expect a low-scoring game and love the Under here.
