The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) travel to face the Baltimore Ravens (4-4) on Thursday Night Football as 10-point road favorites, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium. The Jaguars have won four of their last five games, including a 42-7 victory over Indianapolis last week, while the Ravens have lost three straight after a 4-1 start.
Baltimore will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) and backup Tyler Huntley (toe), thrusting third-stringer Joe Fagnano into his first NFL start. Fagnano made his debut in a loss to Buffalo last week. The over/under for the game is set at 40 points.
Quarterback Contrast
Trevor Lawrence leads the NFL in passer rating this season and has thrown seven touchdown passes through seven games, a franchise record. However, SportsLine expert Jeff Hochman notes Lawrence's road rating (89.9) is significantly lower than his home rating (120.6) in 2024. The Jaguars are playing their first road game in a month on a short week.
For Baltimore, the offense is expected to lean heavily on running back Derrick Henry, tight end Mark Andrews, and quick screens to Zay Flowers with Fagnano under center. The Ravens' run defense ranks last in Run-Stop-Win Rate, and nose tackle Davon Hamilton is out, while edge rusher Travon Walker is playing through injury.
Betting Picks
SportsLine experts highlight two best bets: Ravens +10 points and Justice Hill over 11.5 receiving yards. Hochman favors taking the points, citing Jacksonville's reliance on short fields and defensive takeaways for its offensive surge, plus the short-week road factor. R.J. White backs Hill, noting he received eight targets last week with Fagnano throwing 21 of 25 pass attempts, and has at least three targets in five straight games.
