Jaguars Favored Over Ravens in Thursday Night Football as Baltimore Faces Quarterback Crisis
World Sports · 23:15:41 - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) will aim for their fifth win in six games when they visit the Baltimore Ravens (4-4) for Thursday Night Football at M&T Bank Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. Jacksonville enters off a 42-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts, while Baltimore suffered a 36-10 loss at Buffalo on Sunday.

The Ravens are dealing with a severe quarterback shortage. Lamar Jackson (thumb) has been placed on injured reserve and could miss the rest of the season, while backup Tyler Huntley (toe) has been ruled out. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who is also nursing an ankle injury, is the likely starter if healthy.

Jacksonville leads the all-time series 13-11, though Baltimore has won three of the last five meetings. The latest odds list the Jaguars as a 9.5-point favorite with an over/under of 42.5 points. The money line sits at Jaguars -476, Ravens +385.

SportsLine's projection model, which has returned over $5,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since 2024, leans toward the Over 42.5 points. The Over has hit in three of the last four head-to-head matchups, in each of Jacksonville's last two games, and in six of Baltimore's last 10 games. The model projects 48 combined points, with the Over hitting 60% of simulations.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has completed 65.7% of his passes for 1,690 yards, 17 touchdowns, and four interceptions in seven starts. Running back Bhayshul Tuten leads Jacksonville's ground game with 110 carries for 492 yards and three touchdowns. For Baltimore, Derrick Henry has carried 158 times for 632 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games.
