New Orleans vs Baltimore -2.5 O/U 36
The Saints have a lot of work to do and I think that is what is keeping this spread down some. Taysom Hill is competing with Jameis Winston for the starting position and the narrative is that these two quarterbacks are going to duke it out all game to see who gets the nod. What people are completely ignoring here is that there are 4 quarterbacks and this roster and at least 1 of them needs to be cut. Ian Book and Trevor Siemian will be gunning today and will most likely getting some serious reps during this contest. If you know anything about John Harbaugh, he likes to win preseason games. He is 37-12 in preseason games at 76% showing how much he cares to get the W. His backup quarterback Trace McSorely completely understand that the backup roll isn’t quite set yet and he has to beat out Tyler Huntley to secure his roster spot. The biggest thing about this handicap is that Harbaugh is 12-1 in week 1 preseason games and his only loss was his first year coaching. John is on an 11-0 run in week 1s and I do not want to be that guy who fades him. Ravens by 7.
Baltimore -2.5 – 3 stars
