A possible preview of the Super Bowl in Week 13? The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The Eagles are coming off a big win against the Rams in a game where Saquon Barkley ran for a career-high 255 yards. This will be a big test for the Barkley and the offensive line against one of the best rush defenses. Below are my Eagles at Ravens Preview and Predictions.
The battle of the birds in Baltimore could be a Super Bowl preview. The Philadelphia Eagles do come into this game with a few injury concerns. First, the Eagles will be without cornerback Darius Slay who is dealing with concussion. Additionally, the Eagles lost Brandon Graham for the season and have a questionable tag on DeVonta Smith who missed last week with a hamstring injury.
For the Baltimore Ravens, they come into this game without the services of linebacker Kyle Van Noy. However, the good news for the Ravens will be the return of Roquan Smith who missed last week with an injury. This is a game where I believe the Eagles will have to rely on his arm to win this game.
Eagles at Ravens Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
The stat we will know is Lamar Jackson against NFC teams. In his career, Lamar Jackson is 23-1 against NFC teams. The lone loss was in 2022 season against the New York Giants. Since the 2020 season, as a road underdog, the Eagles are 7-9 SU and 7-9 ATS. This game will come down to Jalen Hurts shoulders and I am not confident that he will be able to get it done.
Saquon Barkley has been the workhorse for this Eagles team and he does have a tough matchup this week against one of the best rush defenses in the league. I’ll take Lamar Jackson and his success against NFC teams in home games his career to get the win.
Best Bet: Ravens -140
Player Prop Best Bet
Jalen Hurts Over 30.5 Pass Attempts
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the best rush defenses in the league this season. One area they have struggled in is pass defense. Opposing teams are averaging 297 passing yards per game and throwing for an average of 39 times per game. In fact, every quarterback the Ravens have faced has thrown 31 or more times except for Patrick Mahomes in Week 1. I believe if the Eagles want to win this game it will be on the shoulders of Jalen Hurts.
