The Jacksonville Jaguars will aim for their fifth win in six games when they visit the Baltimore Ravens for Thursday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Jacksonville enters as a 10-point road favorite with an over/under of 40 points. The Jaguars (5-2) lead the AFC South by three games and have won 14 of their last 17 games, including a 42-7 victory over Indianapolis last week. Baltimore has lost three straight after a 4-1 start and will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) and backup Tyler Huntley (toe). Third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano is expected to start after making his NFL debut in a loss to Buffalo.
Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten became the first Jacksonville player since Maurice Jones-Drew in 2007 to record 100-plus rushing yards, 50-plus receiving yards, and two-plus touchdowns in a game. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leads the NFL in passer rating this season and has thrown seven touchdown passes through seven games, a team record. The Jaguars have won consecutive Thursday Night Football games, most recently against the Saints in 2023.
The Ravens' offense is expected to rely heavily on running back Derrick Henry, tight end Mark Andrews, and quick screens to wide receiver Zay Flowers with Fagnano under center. Analyst Jeff Hochman noted that Jacksonville's run defense ranks last in Run-Stop-Win Rate and that nose tackle Davon Hamilton is out, while edge rusher Travon Walker is playing through injury. Hochman also pointed out that Lawrence's quarterback rating has been significantly worse on the road than at home this season (89.9 vs. 120.6), and this is Jacksonville's first road game in a month on a short week.
Betting picks include taking the Ravens +10 points and Justice Hill over 11.5 receiving yards. Analyst R.J. White highlighted Hill's recent usage, with eight targets last week and at least three targets in five straight games, suggesting he could reach 20 receiving yards for a third consecutive game.
