The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) will face the Baltimore Ravens (4-4) on Thursday Night Football at M&T Bank Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Jacksonville enters on a high note after a 42-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, while Baltimore suffered a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Quarterback injuries

The Ravens will be without their top two quarterbacks: Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Hunter (toe). Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is set to start. Fagnano, who is also dealing with a knee injury, completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and one interception in relief against Buffalo.

Series history and betting lines

Jacksonville leads the all-time series 13-11, though Baltimore has won three of the last five meetings. The Jaguars are a 10-point road favorite, marking the largest road spread of the 2026 NFL season. The over/under is set at 39.5 points. Jacksonville is 4-3 against the spread this season, while Baltimore is 2-5-1.

Expert lean

Veteran NFL analyst Mike Tierney, who is on a 32-14-1 run on Ravens picks, favors the under 39.5. The under has hit in six of the last nine matchups since 2008, including a 23-7 Ravens win in December 2023. Jacksonville's defense allows the second-fewest points in the league at 15.9 per game, while Baltimore's offense ranks 15th at 22.4 points per game.
