No Lamar Jackson, no Jalen Hurts. The stars aren't playing in this one.

So what do we have to go on? My major look is to the coaches. John Harbaugh is the greatest preseason coach of all-time. He's 44-14, including 24-2 in his last 26 games. Harbaugh has covered 69 percent of his 58 preseason games!

Nick Sirianni is 1-6-2 SU, 2-6-1 ATS in preseason during his first three years as Eagles coach.

The home Ravens opened as an underdog. The Ravens, under Harbaugh, have won 76 percent of their preseason games, including defeating the Eagles last year.

Clinching the deal for me is I like the Ravens' backup skill position players more than the Eagles' skill position reserves. The Eagles have very strong starters, while the Ravens have the more quality depth from top to bottom plus Harbaugh's insane motivation to win preseason games.
