Top Jaguars vs. Ravens predictions

Tierney is leaning Under 39.5 combined points for over/under betting at betting apps. The Under has hit in six of the last nine meetings since 2008, including the last time they met in December 2023, a 23-7 Ravens win. The Under has also hit in six of the last 10 Jacksonville games, and in two of the last three Baltimore games. The Ravens are 15th in the league in scoring at 22.4 points, but things just got a lot worse with the injuries to their two top quarterbacks. Defensively, the Jaguars are allowing the second-fewest points in the league at 15.9 per game.

With Jackson and Huntley out, the Ravens' offense will be taken over by third-stringer Joe Fagnano, an undrafted free agent. Fagnano isn't 100% healthy either after banging up his knee in Sunday's loss at Buffalo. In that game, he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and one interception. See which team to back at SportsLine.
