Baltimore Ravens at Philadelphia Eagles (-3) - Total 34
Philadelphia is currently listed as a three-point home favorite over Baltimore for Thursday’s preseason opener and the total stands at 34. The Eagles have been the talk of the league due to aggressive free agent signings, including former Oakland Raiders star cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
Bettors will certainly be interested in knowing head coach Andy Reid’s 0-7 ATS mark in Week 1 of the preseason. Michael Vick started the squad’s 28-27 exhibition home opener last year, failing to cover as a field-goal favorite.
Baltimore has shifted toward a more run-oriented offense heading into the 2011 season, as tight end Todd Heap and wide receiver Derrick Mason are gone. During quarterback Joe Flacco’s NFL career, those veteran members have combined for over half of the receiving touchdowns on the Ravens.
John Harbaugh begins his fourth year on the sidelines and directed the team to a 3-1 ATS mark during the 2010 preseason. He has also compiled a 32 regular season wins during his tenure.
