NFL 2026/27: Baltimore Ravens vs Jacksonville Jaguars Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds
Actually, the Thursday Night Game was supposed to be a real AFC summit, but the injury misery in Baltimore has completely turned the balance of power upside down.
My Ravens Jaguars tip is therefore clear, I bet on the victory of the Jaguars with a handicap of -9.5 at odds of 1.90 on Friday night.
Lamar Jackson will miss at least four games after surgery on his right thumb, backup Tyler Huntley is questionable due to a toe injury. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who only managed 91 passing yards on his debut in Buffalo, should start with this: Ouch!
Baltimore Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Predictions:
In addition to my Ravens Jaguars tip, our Ravens Jaguars AI prediction has thrown out other exciting options that you can easily place with the common sports betting providers. I was particularly taken with a player bet on the side of the guests.
This refers to Bhayshul Tuten with a touchdown at odds of around 2.02. The Jags’ running back collected 159 yards from the line of scrimmage in the sweeping victory over the Colts and was in the end zone twice.
Against a Ravens defense that swallowed a whopping 71 points in the last two games, he should again get plenty of ball contact.
If the game goes as I expect, the Jaguars pull away early and then let their running game tick down the clock – against the Colts, it recently piled up 183 rushing yards.
In addition, Jacksonville only scored 13 and 22 points in his two “real” away games – excluding London – this season, both games remained below the said line.
If you want to take an even more targeted approach, take a look at Ravens under 13.5 points at odds of around 2.35. In no game of the current losing streak did the Ravens get beyond 13 points.
