Coming into the 2021 NFL preseason, the Baltimore Ravens are looking stronger than ever and are currently undefeated. With a big game coming up against the Washington Football Team, the Ravens are looking to make NFL history with 20 consecutive preseason victories. On top of that, the Ravens are also wanting to stay fresh for the regular which is less than two weeks away.

For their final preseason game, the Ravens hope to get a win against the Washington Football Team while staying ready for their week one matchup. This could give them a ton of momentum in their first regular season game against the Raiders. Having said all this, let's take a look at four bold predictions for the Ravens' preseason week three matchup against Washington.

4. The Baltimore Ravens will continue their streak of undefeated preseasons 

Currently on a 19-game preseason winning streak, the Ravens will look to add this streak by winning their 20th straight preseason matchup. Granted this may not matter once the regular season starts, but it could give the Ravens a ton of momentum ahead of their week one matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Washington may give them a run for their money, but given their current hot streak it would be hard to write them off in the always fun battle of the beltway. With their current winning streak on the line and their inability to lose during preseason play, it can definitely be expected that the Ravens undefeated streak will continue this weekend.

Now that the NFL has moved to an 18-game schedule and a shortened preseason, it can definitely be expected that the Ravens will be sitting their starters for the final game of the preseason. Even if their playing their second and third-stringers the entire game, the Ravens can still pull off a victory and keep their unbeaten preseason streak alive.

With Baltimore looking to dethrone the Chiefs as the new team to beat in the AFC next season, they'll need all the rest they can get cause once the regular season is under way they'll have no time to let up. Having said that, there's a good chance that the Baltimore Ravens will sit all their starters during their preseason finale against Washington.

With this in mind, Washington has a chance to beat the Ravens on Saturday and end their preseason on a high note.

1. The Baltimore Ravens will win by a wide margin 

There's also a chance that the Ravens will play their starters for part of their game against Washington due them wanting to keep their starters fresh prior to week one. If they do wind up playing their starters, then there's a chance they blow out the Washington Football Team and build a huge lead from the get-go.
