The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) and Baltimore Ravens (4-4) square off on Thursday Night Football at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let's analyze NFL odds around the Jaguars at Ravens odds and make our expert NFL picks and predictions for the best bets.
On a rainy day in Jacksonville Sunday, QB Trevor Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 and 3 TDs as the Jaguars (-9.5) routed the Indianapolis Colts 42-7 (Over 45), their 12th straight home victory vs. Indianapolis. Jaguars RB Bhaysul Tuten scored TDs both rushing and receiving, running for a career-high 104 yards on 16 carries and catching 2 passes for a career-high 55 yards. The Jaguars forced 3 turnovers (1 fumble,
2 interception), including a pick-6 by S Rayuan Lane with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter to give Jacksonville a 28-0 lead heading in to halftime.
The Ravens lost both starting QB Lamar Jackson and backup QB Tyler Huntley to injury in a 36-10 (Under 55.5) calamity at the Buffalo Bills (-3.5). Jackson injured his thumb on the first snap of the game after getting hit on the hand while attempting a pass. The injury required surgery that landed him on injured reserve. Huntley went down with a turf toe injury in the second quarter after completing 2 of 4 passes for 0 yards and will reportedly miss the remainder of the season. Emergency QB Joe Fagnano filled in the rest of the way, completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with 1 INT. The Ravens were outgained 426 yards (280 passing, 146 rushing) to 144 (68 passing, 76 rushing). The injuries forced the Ravens to acquire QB Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals, but the deal will not be finalized before Thursday's game.
The Jaguars lead the all-time series vs. the Ravens 13-11. The teams have split their last 10 meetings with the Ravens taking the last matchup 23-7 in Jacksonville in 2023. Lawrence completed 25 of 43 passes for 264 yards and 1 TD and also led the Jaguars in rushing with 41 yards on 4 carries, but fumbled twice.

Jaguars at Ravens picks and predictions
Prediction
Jaguars 31, Ravens 10
Moneyline
PASS.
The Ravens have won 7 of the last 8 games vs. the Jaguars played in Baltimore, but I don't see them making it 8 of 9. After a 4-1 start, the Ravens have dropped 3 in a row with the offense averaging 11 points per game during the skid. And now they have to turn to undrafted rookie Fagnano to start Thursday.
Against the spread
BET JAGUARS -10 (-110).
Without Jackson the Ravens offense has been grounded. They scored 30 points vs. the Falcons in their first game without him, but have been stuck in neutral since. It's difficult to see how things will get better in light of their current QB situation. On top of that, the Jaguars own the NFL's best rush defense, giving up an average of 77.4 yards per game, which likely means the Ravens won't be able to lean on RB Derrick Henry to carry the load. He's been bottled up during the losing streak as well, averaging 52 yards over the last 3 games.
The Jaguars are giving up an average of 15.9 points per game, while scoring an average of 28 PPG. In their last 2 losses, the Ravens gave up 35 points to the Bengals and 36 points to the Bills.
Over/Under
PASS.
My score prediction has this as a slight over, but I may be generous giving the Ravens 10 points. Their lone TD vs. the Bills last week came on a short field after an INT set them up at Buffalo's 17-yard line.
Best prop bet
Bet Jaguars QB TREVOR LAWRENCE 3+ TDs (+275).
This one is all about the value. Lawrence has thrown 3 or more TDs in 4 of the Jaguars' 7 games this season, including the past 2. Their running back situation is a little muddy with Tuten a game-time decision, so they may choose to air it out even more than usual.
