Perhaps I'm putting too much faith in John Harbaugh. But when it comes to winning preseason games, none is better than Harbaugh.
Baltimore is 44-15 in preseason under Harbaugh. This includes victories in 24 of their last 27 games.
However, the Ravens are coming off a 16-13 loss to the Eagles in their preseason opener last week. The Eagles pulled the game out on a 49-yard field goal at the gun after Ravens' fourth-string QB Emory Jones fumbled while being sacked.
Jones has no place being even near an NFL roster so it was disappointing when he was out there for the Ravens' last drive. Veteran Josh Johnson and Devin Leary aren't bad preseason quarterbacks for the Ravens with Lamar Jackson expected to sit.
I believe Harbaugh will coach to win this home game following last week's tough defeat.
The Falcons are using preseason to get a look at rookie Michael Penix Jr. Highly doubtful Kirk Cousins plays as he recovers from an Achilles injury that ended his season last year.
I don't think it's asking too much for the Ravens defense playing at home and Harbaugh to just win, something they've done 89 percent of the time during the past 27 preseason games.
