What’s Going On?

The Baltimore Ravens head into their second preseason game on a well-publicized little roll of their own. Sunday night they head to Glendale to face the Cardinals and that winning streak is all the rage. The same can be said about the $1,000 Risk-FREE wager you get when signing up for a new BetMGM account with bonus code VIBONUS.

Use that code when you open your account at BetMGM, and you get one play that’s backed up to $1,000. It’s like your initial wager has free play insurance of up to $1,000. Tonight, Baltimore is laying 5 ½ and their money line is -240. The Cardinals are +200 and 38 ½ is that over or under number.

Why Should You Care?

All trends must end. You can only ride it out for as long as you can since you’re always going to lose the last one when the streak ends. It has to happen eventually and that’s the best part of the BetMGM VIBONUS code, it covers you if this week is that week.

You’ve probably seen the news of Baltimore’s winning streak in preseason football. They lost to the Falcons in the last game of the 2015 preseason schedule and haven’t since. That’s twenty-one straight wins in games that don’t count and that’s not the craziest part. The Ravens are covering too! You’ve cashed with them ATS in 12 straight and 21 of their last 22 preseason games.

How Long Of A Winning Streak Are The Baltimore Ravens On?

Chicago beat Baltimore against the spread to open the 2018 preseason which ended a nine-game stretch of covering they had going before that. It really is an amazing sight to see all those W's in the ATS results column. That letter goes all the way to the third game of the 2013 preseason against the Panthers. Since then, that’s 2013, they are 27-3 ATS!

Teams just don’t score against that defense in the second half and they’re working on their sixth straight shutout after the half. They’ve scored 20 or more in the last nine of 10 overall and the numbers are actually better on the road. Away from M&T Bank Stadium they’re 15-1 ATS, have scored 190 in their last six, and only allowed 77 in their last eight.

What Can The Cardinals Do To Beat Baltimore In A Preseason Game?

Week 1 saw Arizona light it up on the Bengals but before that game, they scored 19 or less in six of seven and were 2-5 ATS in those low-scoring affairs. It’s hot in the desert but not with Arizona’s offense. In their last five at State Farm Stadium, they’ve scored more than 19 only once and totaled just 82 points. Against Cincinnati, they put up 23 first-half points but in the previous seven, they scored 10 or less before halftime.

Arizona only played two games last preseason when the Saints game was canceled due to Hurricane Ida. They were both home games and both finished under the number. Four of the last five Cardinals games at home have been under and they were 2-3 straight up and ATS in those five. These practice games really are tough to gauge when you’re not sure who’s going to be behind center and for how long.

Somewhere There's A Ticket On BetMGM With Arizona As The Best Bet!

There’s no way it can go black again. You’re looking up at the pole with all the past results and there’s not a red one, or the dreaded green version to be seen. Undoubtedly a passerby will slide chips on the red space and then walk away shaking their head.

Of course, it can be black again and the Ravens can cover this one too. Will they win by six or more? That’s where gambling kicks in because loyalty comes from the heart.  The Ravens Money Line Mania Play is your full unit on Baltimore at -240 and ¾ of that on a play giving the points. If they win outright, we cash and get to bet another game.
