The Jacksonville Jaguars enter Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season riding high after a 42-7 demolition of the Indianapolis Colts coming out of their bye week. They travel to Maryland on a short week to face a Baltimore Ravens team reeling from a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills and, more critically, the loss of quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to long-term injuries.
Quarterback Situation
With both Jackson and Huntley sidelined, Joe Fagnano will make the start for Baltimore on Thursday Night Football. The rookie's ability to move the offense is the central question for the Ravens, reflected in long odds of +5000 for Fagnano to score Baltimore's first touchdown.
First Touchdown Scorer Markets
Prediction markets list the following prices for the first touchdown scorer:
Bhayshul Tuten: $0.16
Chris Rodriguez Jr.: $0.16
Derrick Henry: $0.12
Parker Washington: $0.12
Brenton Strange: $0.08
Jakobi Meyers: $0.07
Trevor Lawrence: $0.06
Zay Flowers: $0.05
Expert Picks
Jaguars pick: Jakobi Meyers ($0.07). With Jacksonville expected to control the game, Meyers emerges as a value play. He is Trevor Lawrence's trusted target on key third downs and excels at finding space on short and intermediate routes, making him a red-zone threat during methodical drives.
Ravens pick: Derrick Henry ($0.12). Despite a Jacksonville run defense that has been stout, Henry's ability to break a long touchdown run at any moment makes him Baltimore's most likely first scorer, even with an unsettled quarterback situation.
