The Jacksonville Jaguars, fresh off a 42-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts following their bye week, travel to Baltimore for a Thursday Night Football matchup to open Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. The Ravens enter the game after a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills and, more significantly, have lost starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley to long-term injuries. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano will make his first NFL start under center for Baltimore.
First Touchdown Scorer Markets
Prediction markets list the following prices for the first touchdown scorer (price reflects implied probability): 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. Fagnano to score Baltimore's first touchdown is priced at +5000.
Analyst Picks
Jaguars first touchdown scorer: Jakobi Meyers ($0.07). Despite running backs Tuten and Rodriguez being the natural choices, Meyers is a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence on critical third downs and in the red zone. If Jacksonville drives methodically, Meyers could be the first to find the end zone.
Ravens first touchdown scorer: Derrick Henry ($0.12). With the offense likely to struggle under a new quarterback, Henry remains the most likely Raven to score, capable of breaking a long run regardless of quarterback play. However, Jacksonville's run defense has been stout, so a career performance is not expected.
