Baltimore Ravens
Point Spread Pick
BAL Ravens -2.5(-115)

The Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders will wrap up their 2025 preseasons when they collide in the nation’s capital on Saturday afternoon. No franchise has a more impressive recent history of preseason success than the Ravens. They won a ridiculous 24 consecutive preseason games before finally losing to none other than the Commanders 29-28 in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. Baltimore compiled a 1-2 record in each of the past 2 years, but head coach John Harbaugh’s squad has returned to its winning ways. It kicked off 2025 with a 24-16 victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts before blasting the Dallas Cowboys 31-13 in Dallas. I’m going right back to the well with this team; my Ravens vs Commanders pick is Baltimore to win and cover.

Baltimore has not played since Saturday. Washington, on the other hand, had the Monday Night Football assignment in Week 2 — when Jayden Daniels and other starters saw the field against the Cincinnati Bengals, albeit in brief fashion. It’s hard to see head coach Dan Quinn playing any of his starters in the finale after just 4 full days of rest. The Ravens probably won’t put their starters out there, either. All things being equal, I like the visitors. All they do is win in the preseason, while the Commanders got blown out by the New England Patriots 48-18 and then lost to Cincinnati 31-17.

Ravens vs Commanders prediction: Baltimore -2.5 (-112) available at time of publishing. Playable to -3.
