Ping pong tables are out, and Lamar Jackson is in for the Baltimore Ravens ahead of their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
A total of 51.5 signals tuddy after tuddy, and my Ravens vs. Dolphins anytime touchdown picks break down who I think is finding paydirt on October 30.

Ravens anytime touchdown pick
Derrick Henry 2+ rushing touchdowns (+200 at bet365)
A pissed-off Baltimore Ravens squad — who can smell blood following the Pittsburgh Steelers SNF ass whoopin' — may drop a 40 burger on the Miami Dolphins.
Several players will find the end zone for Baltimore, but I'm targeting the main man, Derrick Henry, and I'm not expecting him to stop after one...
The Ravens' RB1 is fresh off a two-TD outing against the Bears last week, and he'll surely find success against a Dolphins defense that has given up 10 touchdowns on the ground already (tied with a zillion teams for second most, who are all behind a Tennessee Titans squad that would probably be road underdogs against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats).
I kid, but you get my point. Miami has also been torched for 1,160 yards in the trenches, meaning we could see Henry snap off one of his patented 60-yard rushes for a score.
I also expect Baltimore to be living in the red zone, and with Lamar Jackson returning from a hamstring injury, I can see the Ravens relying heavily on D-Henry once things near paydirt.
A -225 price tag on his anytime touchdown prop has me plugging my nose, but 2+ TDs at +200... that I can mess with.
Dolphins anytime touchdown pick
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (+500 at bet365)
While Baltimore's offense might be back, its defense — particularly in the secondary — is still a sight for sore eyes. That should be music to the ears of Tua Tagovailoa, who could be throwing a lot on TNF.
The Ravens are 7-point faves, meaning the Dolphins will probably be playing catch-up for much of the night. Jaylen Waddle will be Baltimore's No. 1 priority, and I think that opens the door for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Injuries to Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller have left Tua short on weapons, and NWI is in a perfect spot to step up and finally have a breakout game with Miami.
Westbrook-Ikhine is yet to find the end zone with the Fins, but this is a guy who scored nine times last season. He clearly has the ability to get open in the red zone, and I think he and Tua will link up for a score against the beaten-up Ravens' D.
It almost feels like an "if not now, then when" situation, and at +500 I'll happily toss half a unit on that "now" be under the bright lights of Thursday Night Football.
If that's too rich for your blood, Malik Washington at +350 is looking mighty fine as well.
