What PFN Predicted for the Eagles vs. Ravens Matchup
Here’s where the Eagles and Ravens rank in various Pro Football Network metrics.
Eagles
Offense+ Metric: 14th (C+)
Defense+ Metric: 4th (C)
Jalen Hurts QB+ Metric: 7th (B+)
Ravens
Offense+ Metric: 1st (A)
Defense+ Metric: 18th (C)
Lamar Jackson QB+ Metric: 1st (A+)
The Week 13 matchup between the Eagles and Ravens could offer an early glimpse at Super Bowl 59, given how both teams are playing in 2024.
Despite a slow start to the regular season, the Eagles are on a seven-game winning streak as they continue to ride an elite rushing attack to victory. Eagles superstar running back Saquon Barkley leads the NFL with 1,392 rushing yards, while Philadelphia leads the NFL with 193.4 rushing yards per game.
While Barkley has flourished in Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts hasn’t put up the gaudy stats that many were expecting to see this season. The Eagles have been without A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert for multiple games at times this season. After missing Week 12, Smith has practiced this week and could return against the Ravens on Sunday.
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has helped revitalize Philadelphia’s defense, which allows just 274.6 total yards per game, the best mark in the NFL. However, Baltimore’s explosive offense will put the Eagles to the test, especially without two edge defenders in Brandon Graham and Bryce Huff.
Although the Eagles and Barkley have the top rushing attack in the NFL, Baltimore isn’t far behind. The Ravens average 180.2 rushing yards per game, second-most in the NFL. While Derrick Henry is challenging Barkley for the rushing title, as he has 1,325 rushing yards in 2024.
Given that both teams want to lean on their rushing attacks, Sunday’s matchup could become a defensive battle in Baltimore. While the Ravens have struggled to defend the pass this season, Baltimore’s run defense is stout. The Ravens have allowed just 77.9 rushing yards per game, the second-best mark in the NFL.
If Baltimore’s defense is able to shut down Philadelphia’s rushing attack, they’ll still be put to the test through the air by Hurts, Brown, and Smith. The Ravens have allowed 277.7 passing yards per game, the second-most in the NFL.
Despite the greatness of both Lamar Jackson and Henry on offense, Baltimore’s struggling pass defense could be the team’s downfall against the Eagles.
PFN Prediction: Eagles 30, Ravens 24
