Ravens vs. Packers Prediction
I’m on the Ravens in this one. I’d like to think the Packers show up at home for their preseason finale, and maybe we see more of the starters here but it wouldn’t surprise me if Matt LaFleur held out the first stringers again here and if that’s the case I have no desire to back the depth pieces from this Green Bay squad. The Ravens have shown their depth and still have a pedigree for preseason football that’s extended back multiple seasons at this point. Give me Baltimore in this one as the Ravens are simply the more trustworthy team in this one.
