Predictions and Betting Preview for the Baltimore Ravens vs Arizona Cardinals NFL Preseason Week 2 Game on August 21, 2022
- Where: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona
- When: Sunday, August 21, 8:00 PM ET.
Betting on the Baltimore Ravens
- Record: 1-0
- Spread: -7
- Moneyline: -303
- Over/Under: 41.5
The first impression left by the Baltimore Ravens in this NFL preseason was quite good, as the team comfortably defeated the Tennessee Titans 23-10 in their Week 1 game and showed that they are ready to fight their way back to the top of their division.
Baltimore was a bulldozer in that game, gaining 389 yards (130 ground, 259 air) all without star quarterback Lamar Jackson at the helm, and will now look to record their 22nd consecutive NFL preseason victory.
Betting on the Arizona Cardinals
- Record: 1-0
- Spread: +7
- Moneyline: +245
- Over/Under: 41.5
The Cardinals also started the preseason on the right foot by beating the Super Bowl finalist Cincinnati Bengals 36-23, making them the highest scoring team among all Week 1 games.
Beyond that result, Arizona would be wrong to think of itself as being in a good position for the regular season, as it allowed Cincinnati a total of 336 yards in that game.This is a clear sign that the defense needs to improve in order to avoid more of these matches, especially given how good their offense is right now.
JefeBet Prediction
Given the teams’ offensive performances in their first preseason games, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another high-scoring matchup between the two in Week 2, though Baltimore could come out on top.
Prediction: Over 41.5
