The Baltimore Ravens (7-3) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Ravens vs. Jaguars odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Baltimore had a mediocre effort last Sunday in a 10-point victory over the struggling Carolina Panthers. In a game which should have been a blowout, the Ravens let the Panthers hang around and failed to cover the -12.5-point closing number. A 13-3 win is not what coach John Harbaugh wanted from his team coming out of its bye week.
Jacksonville, in its 1st season under Doug Pederson, has made massive strides from the 1-16 season in 2021. RB Travis Etienne has taken over the backfield with the team feeling confident enough in him to trade away James Robinson to the New York Jets.
Etienne is 10th in the NFL with 725 yards on 131 carries with 4 TDs. His 5.5 yards per carry is 8th amongst eligible backs. He also has the trust of QB Trevor Lawrence due to their time together at Clemson. Although the Jaguars have not meshed yet, they are making progression and a fun game should be in store.
