Eagles vs. Ravens Picks, Predictions, Odds

Week 1 of the NFL Preseason continues on Saturday, August 11, 2023 as the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.

Eagles vs. Ravens Prediction

The preseason can offer some advantages to bettors, and quite frankly, the Ravens have been money makers having won 23 straight preseason games in a row -- that's crazy plain and simple.

The Ravens have won 10 of their last 12 preseason games by 7+ points thanks to their quality backups and HC Harbaugh putting a ton of emphasis on getting things right early.

As for the Eagles, they have quality team and going to be a force this year. They also have a solid backup QB in Marcus Mariota.

The Ravens are an incredible 38-16-1 in the preseason since Harbaugh took over, and although Philly may ultimately be the better team once the regular season rolls around, Baltimore actually appears to have the deeper roster as well.

Lay the points with the Ravens.

Best Bet: Ravens -4.5 (-110)

Eagles vs. Ravens QB Rotations

Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback depth chart for the 2023 preseason is as follows:

Starter: Jalen Hurts
Second-String: Marcus Mariota
Third-String: Ian Book

  • Jalen Hurts: Hurts is the Eagles' starting quarterback and will likely sit out for most of the preseason. He will be focused on further developing his skills and chemistry with the team's offense in short spurts as he prepares to make a run at the MVP trophy after finishing second in the voting last year.
  • Marcus Mariota: Mariota is the Eagles' second-string quarterback and will likely get the majority of the snaps in the preseason. As a veteran quarterback, he brings experience and versatility to the backup role. Mariota will be looking to contribute as a reliable option behind Hurts.
  • Ian Book: Book is the Eagles' third-string quarterback and will likely get the second-most snaps in the preseason. A young and promising quarterback, Book will have the opportunity to showcase his potential and compete for a role within the team's quarterback depth.

The Eagles' quarterback rotation will feature Hurts' development as the starter in a limited capacity, Mariota's experience as the backup, and Book's potential as a developmental prospect. Tanner McKee's contributions will also be assessed during the preseason.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback depth chart for the 2023 preseason is as follows:

Starter: Lamar Jackson
Second-String: Tyler Huntley
Third-String: Josh Johnson

Lamar Jackson: Jackson is the Ravens' starting quarterback and will likely take very few snaps this preseason. He is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, and the preseason is an opportunity for him to fine-tune his passing skills and build rapport with his teammates in small quantities.

Tyler Huntley: Huntley is the Ravens' backup quarterback and will likely take the bulk of the snaps in the preseason. He showed promise in limited action last season and was named to the Pro Bowl. He will be looking to continue his development as a reliable backup to Jackson.

Josh Johnson: Johnson is the Ravens' third-string quarterback and will likely get the second-most snaps in the preseason. As a veteran journeyman quarterback, he provides depth and experience to the position group, and will aim to demonstrate his readiness in case of emergency.

The Ravens' quarterback rotation centers around Jackson's preparation for the regular season, Huntley's growth as a backup, and Johnson's role as a veteran presence. The preseason will also offer a glimpse of Anthony Brown's progress as a developmental prospect.
