Baltimore Ravens vs. Carolina Panthers: Odds, Spread, Over/Under and Prediction for NFL Preseason Week 2

The Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers will face off in Week 2 of the NFL preseason on Saturday night at 7 p.m. EST. 

Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold sat out the team’s preseason opener will reportedly play a series or two in Saturday’s matchup, according to head coach Matt Rhule. Carolina dropped its opener to the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 15. 

The Ravens beat the Saints 17-14 in their opener, and head coach John Harbaugh entered this preseason with a whopping 34-15 record against the spread in his career.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction and Pick

While Darnold is going to get some playing time in Saturday’s matchup, I’m actually going to take the Ravens to cover given Harbaugh's elite history in the preseason. The Ravens are a run-heavy offense as it is, so transitioning from different quarterbacks in the preseason isn’t as much of a challenge. 

The Ravens are expected to have one of the NFL’s best defenses this season, and they forced six turnovers by the Saints in the opener. I think their prowess also makes the under a great play in this one.
