Jaguars vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right at the top of the AFC South. They haven't been a great road team though with their 1-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't looked good in their games this season with their 4-4 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC North. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 1-2 home record this season. The Ravens finally got Lamar Jackson back from injury in their last game, but it wasn't long until he left injured again. They are coming off a 36-10 loss to the Bills and lost Lamar Jackson for a few more weeks. Tyler Huntley came in to replace him, but just for a few snaps before he got injured too. The Ravens could be down to their 3rd string QB now and this 1st season with Minter as head coach is starting to turn into a disaster season. The offense has looked terrible without Jackson playing and the defense has a lot of issues too, giving up a ton of points and blowing big leads in their games. The Jaguars are coming off a 42-7 win over the Colts in their last one and they have looked like one of the best teams in the NFL this season. They had a great season last year under Liam Coen and they are only getting better this year. This is the perfect situation for the Jaguars with a ton of momentum off that big divisional win, now playing a reeling Ravens team with no answer at QB. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.
