Ravens vs. Eagles Point Spread: NFL Week 6 Odds, Prediction
But the Eagles will need to actually start winning games if they hope to have a shot at a division title – and that task will be an incredibly difficult one Sunday afternoon as they welcome a red-hot Baltimore Ravens team to Lincoln Financial Field.
NFL Week 6 Point Spread and Betting Analysis
The Ravens come in favoured by more than a touchdown against an Eagles team that has stumbled to a 1-3-1 SU record (to go along with an equally putrid 1-4 ATS mark). And as you might expect, the public is all over Baltimore at this point, with a whopping 89 percent of Sports Interaction respondents taking the visitors. The Ravens have been a bettor’s dream over the past season’s worth of games, boasting a 12-3-1 ATS record in their last 16 contests.
The total play for this matchup is even less contentious, with 94 percent of bettors siding with the O47.5. That goes squarely against the prevailing trends for both teams, with Baltimore cashing the Under in five of its previous six games and the Eagles having gone 1-8 O/U in their last nine at Lincoln Financial Field. The teams are 2-0-1 O/U in their last three head-to-head meetings, though they haven’t faced off against one another since 2016.
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are carrying over their 2019 success into this year – and they’re doing it despite getting a far more muted rushing effort from their star quarterback. Lamar Jackson is coming off a record-breaking 1,200-yard rushing campaign in his first year as a full-time starter – and while he leads the team again through the first five games of 2020, he’s on pace for just 761 rushing yards over a full season. His 5.8 YPC rate is also lower than last year’s 6.9 mark.
Philadelphia Eagles
Are we seeing the end of the Zach Ertz Era in Philly? It’s hard to argue against that; despite the Eagles’ receiving corps being ravaged by injury, Ertz has been a complete non-factor for the majority of the first five games, having caught just 20 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. The past two weeks have been even more distressing: five catches for 15 yards on 11 targets in games against the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
