The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) will visit the Baltimore Ravens (4-4) for a Thursday Night Football contest at M&T Bank Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Jacksonville leads the AFC South and holds a 4-2 record in conference play, while Baltimore sits fourth in the AFC North at 2-3 against conference opponents.
Quarterback Situation
The Ravens will be without their top two quarterbacks: Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe). Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is set to make his first NFL start. Fagnano is also managing a knee injury sustained in Sunday's loss at Buffalo, where he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with one interception.
Series History and Odds
Jacksonville leads the all-time series 13-11, though Baltimore has won three of the last five meetings, including a 23-7 victory in December 2023. The Jaguars enter as 10-point road favorites, marking the largest road favorite of the 2026 NFL season. The over/under for total points is set at 39.5. Jacksonville is 4-3 against the spread this season, while Baltimore is 2-5-1.
Betting Trends and Expert Analysis
Veteran NFL analyst Mike Tierney, who is on a 32-14-1 run on Ravens-involved picks, leans toward the under 39.5 points. The under has hit in six of the last nine meetings since 2008, in six of Jacksonville's last 10 games, and in two of Baltimore's last three. The Ravens rank 15th in scoring at 22.4 points per game, while the Jaguars' defense allows the second-fewest points in the league at 15.9 per game.
Tierney has also identified a key X-factor that strongly favors one side of the spread, though the specific detail was not disclosed in the preview.
