Redskins-Ravens Betting Line, Injuries, Player Rotations, and Picks

It’s the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens in preseason football. Here is the official betting preview including quarterback rotations. The NFL preseason spreads has Baltimore at -3 with a total of 31.5.

As far as the quarterback rotations, Baltimore starting QB Joe Flacco will play at least the first quarter, followed by Troy Smith in the second and third and John Beck will finish it out.

Washington starting QB Jason Campbell will not play long. Todd Collins, Colt Brennan, and Chase Daniel will battle for the backup, though Collins has the lead.

Second year WRs Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly have been slowed by nagging injuries, but both “have to play. They’ve got some distance to come,” head coach Jim Zorn said of the last year’s second round picks. They are competing for the No. 2 job behind Santana Moss, also slowed by minor injuries. If both youngsters are healthy for Thursday, both will likely get long looks.

Several key players are out for both teams. The Redskins will be without defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, their star offseason signing and running back Clinton Portis. The Ravens will be minus WR Mark Clayton and LB Terrell Suggs says the best of the Covers Experts Stevie Vincent.

Baltimore could be without their three top WRs. In addition to Clayton, Derrick Mason has a dislocated finger and Demetrius Russell a hamstring injury. Baltimore is also banged up on the offensive line. The Ravens will have a new defensive coordinator in Greg Mattison.
