My Jaguars vs. Ravens prediction is calling for a blowout in Baltimore.
Jacksonville is a 9.5-point favorite in the Thursday Night Football odds, carrying an 80% win probability on Kalshi, but I don't think the line is steep enough given a Baltimore QB room in disarray.
Get all my NFL picks for tonight's game at M&T Bank Stadium, which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
TOP pick
Jaguars vs Ravens prediction: Jaguars -9.5
With Lamar Jackson sidelined and Joe Fagnano making his first career start for the Baltimore Ravens, I expect a rout. I'd play this to 54%.
Fagnano completed just 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards in relief against the Buffalo Bills last week and is now nursing an ankle injury on a short week. Baltimore hasn't topped 13 points in three straight games and ranks 30th in yards per play over that span.
Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense is humming, ranking third in yards per play over that stretch while scoring 73 points in its last two outings.
Baltimore's defense hasn't helped, allowing 71 points over its last two games. Isn't Jesse Minter supposed to be a defensive genius?
Don't expect the Jaguars to play down to the competition. They're 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites, outscoring opponents by an average of 14 points and covering by an average of 8.6 points.
Baltimore is 0-4-1 ATS in its last five games as a home underdog, losing by an average of 16 points. With the AFC's No. 1 seed to chase, Jacksonville has every reason to keep its foot on the gas.

COVERS INTEL: Jacksonville ranks in the Top 10 in red-zone offense and defense, as well as third-down conversion rate and opponent third-down conversion rate (TeamRankings).
Jaguars vs Ravens combo
Baltimore's quarterback situation might be the worst in the NFL. Playing on a short week against a Super Bowl contender only makes matters worse.
Jacksonville has bullied overmatched opponents, demolishing the Indianapolis Colts by 35 points as a 10.5-point favorite last week and smashing the Cleveland Browns by 24 as an 8.5-point favorite earlier this season.
Let's pair another beatdown with a Brenton Strange touchdown.
Baltimore has allowed a tight end to score in three of its last four games and has surrendered touchdowns on 83.3% of opponents' red-zone trips over its last three.
That sets up beautifully for Strange to find the end zone in a Jacksonville rout.
Jaguars vs Ravens combo
- Jaguars -9.5
- Brenton Strange anytime touchdown
Jaguars vs Ravens touchdown scorer: Brenton Strange
Baltimore's defense has been getting worked by tight ends, surrendering six touchdowns to the position this season.
That's good news for Strange, who's becoming a major piece of Jacksonville's passing attack. He's drawn at least seven targets in three of his last four games and enters Thursday as the Jaguars' second-most-targeted pass catcher this season.
At just 28% on Kalshi, I'm buying the opportunity for Strange to find the end zone against this struggling defense. For more scoring angles, see our Jaguars vs. Ravens anytime touchdown scorer predictions and prop picks.
Jaguars vs Ravens player prop: Justice Hill 15+ receiving yards
Joe Fagnano looked Justice Hill's way plenty last week, with Hill catching four passes on a season-high eight targets. He's cleared this number in two straight games, recording 20 and 26 yards, and has drawn 10 more targets than Derrick Henry this season.
Jacksonville allows 36.2 receiving yards per game to running backs, and if this game gets out of hand, Henry could see fewer snaps while Hill gets more opportunities in the passing game.
