New York @ Baltimore Picks & Props

There's a clear gap between these teams, but the Jets have been playing opponents too close to justify getting nearly two touchdowns against a Ravens team that isn't posting blowout wins.

Hall is a talented running back but he's held in check by being on a lousy Jets team. The Jets are 13.5-point road dogs in Week 12 against Baltimore who is 4-0 with an average scoring margin of +12.8 ppg since getting back Lamar Jackson. Baltimore's defense has made significant strides against the run. Through Week 5, the Ravens had allowed 146.4 rushing yards per game while ranking 32nd in defensive rush EPA. Since then they are allowing 96.6 yards per game on the ground while ranking third in defensive rush EPA.  Combine that improved run D with what will likely be a negative game script for the Jets and Hall will have a tough time eclipsing his rushing yards prop.

The New York passing game should at least function on Sunday with Tyrod Taylor under center. John Metchie caught all three of his targets last week — not easy with Justin Fields in just his second game as a Jet — and turned one into a 22-yard touchdown. At +475, I’m backing him again. In Week 11, Metchie led all New York receivers in snap share and receiving yards. Adonai Mitchell continues to struggle with drops and is still priced 125 points shorter than Metchie. With Garrett Wilson sidelined, Metchie may operate as the WR1 in what should be a pass-heavy game script. I’d play this down to +350.

Baltimore’s other tight end has been gradually putting in more work since returning to play at the end of September, and that includes his role as a receiver. After being targeted a total of just five times in his first four games, Likely has drawn 12 targets over the last three games. The 6-foot-4 TE scored 13 TDs over the past two years but has yet to find the end zone in 2025. The Jets are just the team to end that drought, giving up seven scores to the position this season. Likely to strike-ly at +300.
