Jaguars vs. Ravens Trading Preview
The Ravens hold a 4-4 record and face severe roster challenges as Jackson remains on injured reserve following thumb surgery, while backup Tyler Huntley is sidelined for the remainder of the season with turf toe. Third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano is set to take over after completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception during last week’s 36-10 loss to the Bills. This marked Baltimore’s third consecutive defeat, and opposing defenses have focused heavily on star running back Derrick Henry, who has gained 156 rushing yards over the past three games. Meanwhile, the 5-2 Jaguars enter the matchup following a 42-7 victory over the Colts after their bye week, having previously lost only to the Broncos and Texans.
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, projects the Jaguars to win by more than 10 points in 51% of its simulations. On Kalshi, shares for the Jaguars to win by more than 10.5 points trade at $0.47, while shares for Baltimore to lose by fewer than 10.5 points or win outright are priced at $0.54 each.
Scoring Projections and Team Statistics
Beyond their quarterback struggles, the Ravens face a short turnaround on a short week. Both defenses surrender nearly identical yardage near the league average, but Jacksonville allows just 15.9 points per contest compared to Baltimore’s 25.4. Baltimore’s offense has produced a total of 33 points over its last three outings, whereas Jacksonville ranks fifth in the league in scoring with 28 points per game. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 1,690 yards with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. Running back Bhayshul Tuten comes off his first career 100-yard rushing game alongside 55 receiving yards against Indianapolis, though an ankle injury leaves his status as a game-time decision.
The SportsLine Projection Model forecasts a final score totaling above 45 points, with both teams combining for more than 40 points in 60% of simulations. Contract shares for the teams to combine for more than 39.5 points trade at $0.47, while shares for 39 or fewer total points trade at $0.54.
