Eagles at Ravens predictions for Week 13 of the NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

This is one of the more intriguing matchups in recent Eagles history. The Ravens and Eagles both have multi-dimensional quarterbacks who are playing at an elite level, they both have world-class running backs, they both have coaches who’ve won well over 60 percent of their games and have been to a Super Bowl (and coached with the Eagles), they both have top-3 offenses, neither has allowed a 100-yard rusher and both look like legit Super Bowl contenders. And both just won a game at SoFi Stadium last weekend. It doesn’t get any better than this, but I’m going with the Ravens just because I think the Eagles could very well win their last five games – Panthers and Steelers home, at Washington, then Cowboys and Giants home – and nobody really ever wins 13 games in a row — there’ve only been 11 13-game winning streaks within one season in NFL history — and I just think the math says at some point the Eagles are going to lose a football game. Pretty stupid reason to pick against them? Maybe. But the Ravens are really, really good and they rarely lose at home – they’re 97-38 in 17 years under Harbs. Only the Packers at Lambeau have a better home record since 2008. The Eagles’ formula of running 45 times a game and throwing 22 times will work against almost anybody, but I’m not sure it works against the Ravens.

This is a tough one because I definitely think the Eagles could win on Sunday. In fact, I actually think they’re the more talented team from top to bottom. The problem is that I have a hard time envisioning them finishing this season with 13 straight wins. There has to be a loss in there somewhere and this is the…
