Commanders vs. Ravens Prediction, Picks & Best Bets: NFL Preseason Week 3 Odds
My best Commanders vs. Ravens prediction focuses on Baltimore's defensive dominance throughout the preseason. It has allowed just one touchdown in two games, and the Commanders are coming off a 13-point performance despite playing Jayden Daniels.
I expect backups to take center stage Friday, with kickoff from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore set for 6 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Because of this, I'm confident that the Ravens' depth will help them cover as a 3-point betting favorite.

💰 Commanders vs. Ravens best bet
Under 34.5 (-110)
This is one of the lowest totals I've seen all preseason, and I'm still taking the Under. The Ravens have allowed just 10 points in two games, while scoring only 37. Meanwhile, the Commanders have played two games with totals of 30 points or less.
Both teams know what they have in their offensive starters, which is why we're going to see Athan Kaliakmanis and Sam Hartman for the Commanders and Joe Fagnano and Tyler Huntley for the Ravens. I trust the Ravens' duo more, but don't trust anyone enough to expect many points.
Score prediction: Ravens 17, Commanders 13
🚀 Commanders vs. Ravens same-game parlay
By preseason standards, the Ravens have dominated their competition, outscoring opponents 37-10. While the Commanders picked up a win over the Dolphins in Week 1, they didn't look good against the Lions, even with Jayden Daniels on the field. Fagnano and Huntley have been solid for the Ravens, so I'll back them to cover the spread. And because I'm so confident in the Under, I'm willing to risk a full unit on this parlay.

💡 How I'm betting Commanders vs. Ravens: NFL preseason strategy
Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL season.
I'm backing the Ravens' consistency. The Ravens haven't played key starters, yet they're still winning by large margins. I don't expect a Commanders offense that has struggled through two games to score much at all. Because of that, I'm willing to wager three units on this game, risking one unit each on the Ravens -3, Under 34.5, and a parlay of both plays.
