The set-up: Baltimore's looked like the much more "cohesive" unit so far in the preseason and I believe it carries that momentum over here. Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh takes the preseason seriously, as evidenced by his team's 15-0 run in FLX action. Philadelphia's first team offense will finally hit the field, but "rust" is going to be an issue.

The pick: Especially vs. this Ravens' defensive unit which is "firing on all cylinders" (so far Baltimore is average 27.5 PPG in the preseason and allowing only 13.) The Eagles' backup QB issue is a serious one as well, as Cody Kessler is concussion protocol and Nick Sudfeld has a broken wrist (where's Nick Foles when you need him?!) Expect to see a lot of Josh McCown under center as well in this game for the home side. Regardless, I think Baltimore's well oiled machines runs roughshod in the City of Brotherly Love. Lay the points.
