Fansided: Cardinals 28, Ravens 21

Aarron Van Buren writes: "This is an interesting game as Trace McSorley and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will face off against their former team for the first time. Hollywood most likely won’t play, but McSorley will. How much of the Ravens defense does McSorley remember? Arizona will benefit from another solid start by McSorley, but I think Guarantano will do most of the heavy lifting in this game. Guarantano wins it on a late drive in the fourth quarter on a touchdown pass to Marcell Ateman."

Betsided: Ravens will cover vs. Cardinals in NFL preseason game

Joe Summers writes: "Baltimore hasn't been favored by six in any game during this stretch, but the Ravens won nine of their last 10 by at least six anyway. Thus, the large spread doesn't scare me. John Harbaugh is an incredible coach. Kliff Kingsbury is mediocre at best, and a buffoon at worst. With advantages on both sides of the ball and under the headset, it's Baltimore's game to lose. The Ravens are keeping this magical streak going this week and I'm thrilled to watch Tyler Huntley carve up this Cardinals defense."

Odds Shark: Take the Cardinals with the points vs. Ravens

It writes: "The main takeaway from the first preseason game was the connection between McSorley and wide receiver Andy Isabella. If the two continue this chemistry, they may pose issues for a Baltimore defense that trots out first-round selection Kyle Hamilton at safety. After not turning the ball over once against Cincinnati, if the Cardinals are able to hold on to the football once again, they should improve to 2-0 in the preseason."

FanDuel: Cardinals 30, Ravens 25

Devon Platana writes: "After how both teams played to open the preseason, this could be one of the more fun games of the week. Having said that, the Ravens have been a bettor's dream in recent preseasons, going 10-0 against the spread in their last 10 exhibition contests. Having said that, the Ravens are only 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings with the Cardinals. Arizona was also up 36-9 over the Bengals after three quarters, so the Cardinals' offense should give the Ravens more of a challenge than the Titans did last week. I have a feeling that this game will end in a shootout, and the Cardinals will be victorious when the final whistle blows."

Sports Chat Place: Go with the Cardinals with the points vs. Ravens

It writes: "I’m going to try the Cardinals here. Arizona did some great things against the Bengals in their first exhibition game, including holding a 36-9 edge after three quarters. The Cardinals had 23 first downs, zero turnovers, just two penalties and went 6-of-11 on third-down tries.  As for Baltimore, they controlled the Titans game pretty well with 389 total yards, 5.6 yards per play and 35:32 in time of possession. I like this one to be a fairly close matchup, with Arizona eking out a cover. Should be fun for a preseason game."

Picks and Parlays: Ravens 27, Cardinals 23

It writes: "Both the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens have efficient offenses. We think both of these teams will put up at least 20 points each. The over is 3-2 in both the Ravens and Cardinals last 5 games. Our best bet is the over 41.5."

Cappers Picks: Ravens will cover against Cardinals

Jason Green writes: "The Ravens win preseason games, and I am not about to start betting against them here. Look for the Ravens offense to find success here and that is going to be the difference as Baltimore gets the job done. Back the Ravens."
