The Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders face off Saturday night at M&T Bank Stadium in the preseason finale for both teams. The Ravens are looking to extend their NFL record 22 consecutive preseason wins, while the Commanders are hoping to earn their first preseason win.
The two geographic rivals have played one another in the preseason 13 times, with the Ravens holding a 10-3 advantage. However, things are much tighter when the games count, with Baltimore having a slight 4-3 edge over Washington.
The two teams met in the preseason finale last August, with the most notable moment being the Ravens losing star running back J.K. Dobbins for the season with a knee injury. That led to some criticism of Baltimore coach John Harbaugh for playing his starters in the preseason finale.
Washington coach Ron Rivera said his starters would play on a “very limited” basis earlier this week. What does that mean? Don’t be surprised if Rivera sits his starters after one possession.
The Ravens head into Saturday’s game as 5.5-point favorites, according to Tipico Sportsbook. Here is everything you need to know from a betting perspective:
