Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars - 11/27/22 NFL Picks and Prediction
The Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at TIAA Bank Field. When these two teams last faced off in 2020 it was the Ravens that secured the 40-14 victory.
The Ravens come into this game with a 7-3 record overall and they have gone 4-5-1 against the spread. In the last game against the Carolina Panthers, the offense struggled to move the ball, but they were still able to secure the 13-3 victory. Lamar Jackson only had 31 rushing yards, and they need him to be more dynamic with his legs here. He did throw for 209 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. The Ravens are averaging 24.8 points while their defense is giving up 19.9 points per game. Running back Gus Edwards is expected to be back here, and that will be a big boost for the Ravens running game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Jagaurs who sit with a 3-7 record and they have gone 3-6-1 against the spread. In the last game against the Chiefs the Jaguars gave up 27 points, and ended up losing by 10 points. Trevor Lawrence did have a solid game completing 29 of his 40 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Lawrence has shown some flashes of really turning the corner, but he is still too inconsistent. The Jaguars are averaging 21.6 points while their defense is giving up 20.5 points per game. Running back Travis Etienne Jr is having a big season rushing for 725 yards and four touchdowns.
The Ravens are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 games n Week 12. The under is 6-0 in the Jaguars last six games in November. The under is 5-0 in the Jaguars five games on grass.
The Ravens are going to have no issue here’s against the Jaguars. I don’t trust this Jaguars defense, and I expect the Ravens offense is going to be much better here. Getting Edwards back is a big boost for this Ravens offense and should make them more balanced. Jackson is going to be able to use his legs more here, and the Ravens are going to cover the spread.
